I've been wondering: are there exploits/vulnerabilities that can burrow into a system through a limited account on XP? I've tried playing around a little bit [but I'm really not very much of an XP-hacker] and it sure seems hard to get a toehold on the system from my limited account. With the entire system drive essentially read-only, and with its not being able to mess with ADMIN or SYSTEM processes, I wonder just how vulnerable XP is... [for example, I"ve been tempted (but too chicken) to try intentionally infecting myself with one or another of the email-borne viruses just to see how far they could penetrate into my system]. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:bernieat_private Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <--
