They listened to the criticisms of lax security in Windows and they locked it down. But they have millions of users running legacy applications that put files everywhere they shouldn't because older versions didn't stop them - including the root of the system drive. So what approach would you suggest? Just break compatibility? You'd be crying about broken compatibility if they did that. They can't win. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
