I don't recall ever changing any permissions on my machine that got hit JRS wrote: If you never changed any permissions, then you should be fine. The patch only failed for those who did change them. That script sets them back to normal to work around the patch issue. :)
Re: [H] Watch out for MS udpates -fixed
It gives administrators and system full access to the windows folder and 8.clb files. The issue with that patch was only if you changed default access to the Windows directory to enhance security.

Re: [H] Watch out for MS udpates -fixed
Thank you JRS. Does this mean that I actively went and changed the default
access rights to the Windows folder/directory? Not trying to be
priggish, just trying to understand B4 I let MS do-the-doo.
I have never changed any rights to the Windows folder/directory that I am
aware of since this OS was installed (' 99?). At least I do not remember
doing it, but can not answer for other background processes...
Thanks. I'll look around tonight B4 I update :)

Re: [H] Watch out for MS udpates -fixed
I wonder if that update only affects PCs that have had their default permissions changed at some time. Mine were at the default and none of my .clb files had been altered for some time.
