Yes, that is how I would use it referring to the long string that the Ritlabs web site gives you at activation.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA224 ***^\ ._)~~ ~( __ _o Was another beautiful day, Tue, 12 Dec 2006, @ @ at 15:09:59 +, when MFPA wrote: This schema with three main partitions (OS | Programs | Data/Documents) is the best/safest way. Many professionals find it as best solution too. Often is done further division of the Data as well (e.g. private, business etc.). I have seen advocated partitions for TEMP and Archive in addition to those three, although I suppose Archive is just another example of a further division of Data. Yes, they do that too, and in various ways. Basically, the entire administration can be (and indeed is, by more advanced, demanding, weird users) divided into much more specialized sectors, and perhaps best example is the quite classical Linux/Unix strategy. There you can see that it by default has several (6-7) main partitions... /bin # programs coming with OS itself and shared by all users /etc # OS settings and related tools /home# place for (non-root) users /root# for the boss and his/her privileged secrets and tricks /tmp /usr # for programs installed and shared by users ...and so on. This of course is not the case with modern Linux installations that imitate the Windows, installing all on just one single partition, in order to make it for the users accustomed to Windows easier to manage. Also, there are users who in Windows, in return, apply exactly the rules and habits found in the classic Linux, making thus separate dedicated partitions for, as you have mentioned, TEMP, Archive, Documents and so on, and changing the system variables to point to these partitions accordingly, instead to the default addresses. Out of interest (and at the risk of moving too far off-topic), what are the arguments either way between using partitions or physical drives? This part is not clear to me. I will suppose that by drives you here mean actually hard disk, in contrast to the part of it, partition (since drive and partition are most frequently used as synonyms)? If yes, then there is no any significant difference, for the goal is same: to keep various types of data separated, and thus to provide more security/safety for them. (If OS kicks the bucket, the Documents will remain unaffected and so forth.) In particular situations, it's even better to keep your Documents on separate hard disk, since this way they are even more isolated from the rest, and if it is even a portable, USB and so on hard disk, then even better - anyone who would by a chance access your machine, wouldn't find any data on it except the OS and usual programs, so couldn't screw something up, be that intentionally or not. And it is all actually very much on topic too, since it can be applied to mail administration as well: separate partition, or even hard disk, for the mail only, or even two or more partitions, for various types of mail - private, business and so on. Then, it is much less risky if you encrypt just individual partition then the entire hard disk. So, this division into partitions, and even the use of dedicated hard disks, is very useful and practical thing and can be applied in many various situations. We of course are forced to learn this and similar things usually not until having undergone some loss of (valuable) data, so that actually a certain pain is our stimulator much rather than a fancy wish to be a geeks. g - -- Mica ~~~ For personal mail please use my address as it is *exactly* given in my From field, otherwise it will not reach me. ~~~ GPG keys/docs/software at: http://blueness.port5.com/pgpkeys/ http://tronogi.tripod.com/pgp/pgpkeys/ [Earth LOG: 670 day(s) since v3.0 unleashing] OSs: Windows 98 SE Micro Lite Professional IVa Enterprise Millennium Windows XP(ee) Micro Lite Professional 1.6, Gentoo Vector ~ Wine -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iQCZAwUBRX9BaAYWnlFQ1cE7AQuOLgQfR/i43ajDdyvFAwlkKiohGePuxaDrr+6R 7fmcXmTo9nOhp4JnWolI6HJ7+ZqeizaSzbsBCXyeVgXmY4Kf03kbRBw2UTphTlVQ WHaiX6FdrWlnY5cVNeu76Ddyt8XZPHUAH/Ta7dyS/R+EdpVTNcMKkwXiQuKeZvU5 cZCRykt7rXBs7yqA =Xliw -END PGP SIGNATURE- Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
