How would you possibly know if something new was added? There must be a ga-zillion files there. Eisboch Be careful when editing the registry.

Best time to start is when you do a clean windows install. Then check it as
you add your software. I only have 2 things in mine - both for my Nvidia card. When I do a ctrl/alt/delete and click "processes" I only have 24 running - including the printer stuff. How about YOU??? Heh... -W "Eisboch" wrote in message ... "Clams Canino" wrote in message ink.net...

That would be you, maybe. |

It's not a matter of "if", but a matter of "when". The worst offenders are people who, for various reasons, have no protection on their machines. Well, it's worked for me for over 10 years now... so if ONE finally gets through... I'll deal with it. :) -W |
