Way beyond the skill set of the average home or small business user! This is a fully reversible change and is not negated by any Microsoft emergency patches.

And print locally only. Wireless is fine, as long as it's only using a local network. Businesses may have other considerations, but I assume they have IT pros on-call who have already made changes or offered advice until a patch covering the full extent of this issue is released by Microsoft through normal patching channels.</span></p></div><div><p class="yiv1327786289MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="yiv1327786289MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;">-- Bob Primak </span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
