   | I don't fully understand (nor want to unless it is imperative)   
   | what permissions are, I always use FAT32 because I see no   
   | point whatsoever in using   
   | NTFS.   
      
      Permissions/restrictions is the operation of limited   
   functionality for different user categories. Are you sure   
   you're not on NTFS? If you're on FAT32 the restrictions   
   don't function. (Right-click -> Properties on a file will   
   not have a tab for adjusting restrictions.)   
      
   | But do you mean flash player plugins or flash player   
   | altogether?   
   |   
      
      As long as it's not connected to the browser it doesn't   
   really matter whether the library is present. If the browser   
   can play flash content you're at risk.   
      
   | You might want to take a look at the one I use. I can post it   
   | for you somewhere if you can't find it. (Since it's not   
   | ZoneAlarm, the older versions are not easily found.) I don't   
   | see how "block most/stealth" mode can be any less efective now   
   | than it was in 2002.   
   |   
      
     Maybe I will check that out. But why did you choose v. 1?   
   The old version websites seem to have several, up to 3.5.   
      
   | I appreciate your reply, especially since I was so nasty to   
   | you about your utility. Or did you just forget all about that?   
   | ;-)   
   |   
      
      Not a big deal.   
      
   | So, again, with FAT32 I don't NEED a limited account?   
   |   
      
    With FAT32 you can't have a limited account.
