But directly after boot-up process we stay on CD with every possible operation. So modifying the contents of any other drive requires purposeful "change drive" action. I see no sense with too much "protection"; nowadays we are so "protected" (even without being asked do we really want it; and no option to switch redundant "protection" off) that using one's own bank account is slowly becoming cumbersome. DOS is out of interest of users preferring "clickable" GUI. Its users don't need to be that protected; I believe they know what they are doing -- regards, Zbigniew _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
