      From: tWilson148@comcast.net              I am asking for a friend who has XP Home Edition on her computer at home,       and after I obtained the recovery disks from HP for the computer &       reinstalled the OS, within two weeks, the thing was full of spyware. Guess       why: adolescent boy in house, of course, target of all web-marketing       malicious, etc.              So, I don't know much about XP, but I do know that at home and at the       office, I keep systems clean by making everybody a restricted user. Is this       configuration available in XP Home, and how do I effect it?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
