    But Windows does support soft links (called junctions)! They also support hard links. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365006.aspx[^]

      ...fetching and installing some updates without end users' consent. Story here[^] "Windows Secrets discovered that Windows had updated files even with automatic update turned off. By comparison, eWEEK Labs found that several Windows computers set to automatically download and manually install had applied updates without end user consent." If I were a corporate IT guru, I would not be too pleased. :mad: As a home user I'm not too thrilled. :~ :| Thoughts?

      On the other hand, I'd be happy to get the fool thing to work at all. My wife's old Dell came with WinME, and Update stopped working the day I installed XP. After a couple of months of back and forth with MS support it was clear they didn't have a clue and were just sending me in circles. Eventually they stopped answering my e-mails. Every now and then I search for a fix but nothing has worked yet. I'd sure like to add all those security patches . . . Couv Dude
