Well, then anyone should be free to use whatever undocumented interfaces exist in Windows to do "clever things" in the kernel, and so on. I thought we'd gotten past that stage.

On this, we'll have to agree to disagree. I'm of the opinion that if I own something, I should be able to do anything I want with it, including break it. I also believe that (to borrow from Dennis Ritchie) preventing people from doing stupid things also prevents them from doing clever things. Locking up everything in a box and telling me to keep out prevents me from doing things the designers didn't think of. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
