I'll just share my mail folders over the internet. ;) no, that doesn't happen as I'm working with 2 network-cards here (cable-modems, you gotta love 'em) all I have to do to prevent this, is turn off the bindings for 'file printer sharing' 'client for microsoft networks' on the network-card connected to my cable-modem et voila: you can't login anymore :-) here, i've got an old p75 with 16mb running w98v2 and all it does is keep backups of files, keeping my message-folders providing an internet gateway...

Re[2]: (OT): Windows Registry
\\\|/// / ~ _ \ (- O o -) --oOOo-(_)-oOOo--- Hello Steve, SL Those limits are arbitrary. The Microsoft routines obviously have bugs in SL them, don't they? :) well, it's not a real bug, as the ini-file-specification sets size limits to 64k... (remember that these were developped for win 3.x and maybe even lower...) so they just obey the limit that MS has set for ini-files... :-) SL Those "advantages" aren't exclusive to the registry. What has these advantages too? SL Flat files in a user's home directory. well yes, but then you can't use simple acsii-files if you want to store binary data (or even executable strings like you can in the registry) (about the latter one: don't ask me how or even why, but it can be done...) (hell, where could somebody use this for? -excluding hackers!) SL An NT-Network isn't an advantage. Any IT professional can tell you that SL and as one such professional I can tell you many reasons why NT is the worst SL choice to have a central repository for user files (that is all a "profile" SL is). I'd much rather have Unix with NFS. I'm not so fond of NT either, but sometimes you can't make the call... since your budget or boss will :-( -- Der Immer Jodelende Schweizer In Lederhosen Roelmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Anything not nailed down is a cat toy. .oooO ( ) Oooo. --\ (( ) \_)) / (_/ Visit the official site of Enigma at http://www.enigma3.com (it's really worth it!)

MS puts everything in the registry... they only support win.ini system.ini for compatibility with older progs drivers...
