Okay, this much I understand. What I don't understand is how the OTFE capability arose in the first place. Who installed TB with OTFE capability and chose the master password? Wouldn't that be the administrator or someone with administrator privileges? Don't you need administrator privileges to install an OTFE TB? I have a Non-OTFE installation of TB on my computer. When I set up a new account in my Non-OTFE TB, I am not given the opportunity to use OTFE for that account. > The administrator comes along and needs to uninstall TB!. What happens > then.

My understanding - and it could be wrong - is that each account could have a different password, but there is a master password that is required just to launch TB. > I use a number of apps whose configuration can be passphrase protected. > These are anti-virus agents, firewalls, mailservers and such.

Well, I believe that I have seen the request for a password before uninstalling with other apps that I have used. But maybe I am mistaken. -- Avi Yashar Windows XP Pro SP2 and The Bat!
