In my opinion, you shouldn't even be allowing them to use IE in the first place. Have you not heard of the unfixed MAJOR SECURITY HOLES IE has? Have you not taken a look at IE's poor track record for security? Mozilla isn't difficult to install (typical next next next next next finish windows installation), it's 100% free, open source, and is relatively small (I think you use about 150 megs of traffic to 'patch' a new windows system) at 12.0 megs (mozilla-win32-1.7rc1-installer.exe) Also, being open source, if someone finds a hole, it can be fixed easily (often times by the person finding the hole) whereas with IE, you have to wait until Microsoft releases a patch (which could take many months, if ever). -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kitchen @ #qmail on EFNet - Join the party! .....................
