RE: Anyone Running XP Home Edition ?

<To me, the single worst default they did -- and the first thing I change in
any installation -- is to "Hide extensions for known file types".  But
that's just a pet peeve of mine.>

Not hardly Doug (a pet peeve of yours) :-) - that is without a doubt the
worst thing they did to aid virus writers into tricking users... Just LOOK
at Blaster, MyDoom and Bagle...

Just to "pretty up" something for bozo novice users and look what
happened...
