Thanks much! I've already disabled autorun and autoplay (along with NetBIOS over Tcpip and a few other things), and I'm willing to go into an Administrator account temporarily for special purposes like software installation and on-demand Microsoft Updates.
One "unfair" question, since it isn't your recommendation: Are you famiiliar the advice given at
http://www.mechbgon.com/srp/index.html (referenced above)? I think I understand the concept, but I don't see how the instructions provided there follow conceptional outline of specifying specific (and different) save and execute directories...
Thanks again. -- jclarkw
