[AccessD] OT, but business related

Yes, but with W2K SP3, it is setup to do this automatically.  My knee-jerk
reaction was to disable this "evil Bill Gates wants root access to my PC"
functionality.  As a result, I'm WAYYYY behind in my security patches.

I would be more concerned with the implications of installing questionable
patches and dealing with the outcomes.  I installed an IDE driver that
effectively hosed up both my CD-ROMs, and then spent the better part of the
evening reversing the process.  Think a client would be willing to pay for
this additional cleanup?

Charlotte, doesn't matter -- people still have to know they should download
them -- and they just don't.
