How smug, ridiculous, and insulting: I run in a limited account ALL the time (on all OSs I use), but I guess the petty stuff I do doesn't count as real work. FEH. Maybe your problem with a limited account is that you're not familiar enough with the XP protection machinery to get it set up properly, since it is a pretty minimal problem if you get it tuned... > Limited accounts are more for kids (and adults) who screw things up. ..I'd never recommend it for a responsible person. I was going to reply to your post, but I'll let this stand as one of the of the most surprising and basically ill-informed and wrongheaded comments on operating system security I have *EVER* read. The very notion that one makes an OS secure for the sake of the incompetents and the irresposibles is both laughable and ridiculous [and not to mention inconsistent with your arguments about why it was OK for MS to leave XP/Home with an unuseable limited account] /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html
