I can see the benefit of a diagnostic utility to tell me "show me *all* network adapters in the system!", but maybe it should not be the default output of something called "*tap* ctl" :-) > Don't delete them with "tapctl delete" - like the "list" command lists _all_ > interfaces, the "delete" can delete _any_ interface on your computer.

The utility is called *tap*ctl after all. Yes, this sounds like "less room for confusion, accidents and user frustration". "tapctl list" could grow a "--all" parameter to "really display all" (including some sort of flaggin "this is is a tap adapter", maybe even displaying the "tap901.sys" vs "root\\tap901.sys" difference), but "delete" really should not touch not-ours interfaces. thanks :) gert -- "If was one thing all people took for granted, was conviction that if you feed honest figures into a computer, honest figures come out.
