I am learning so much, its great.
AVSCARY, You made me think, I must sound like a nut sometimes (sometimes?)
Which O/S? The PC I am writting this on is partitioned with 98 2ed, XP and 2000. And I never thought about it, but questions can be very different from an OS standpoint, I mean I never thought about it as I was writting the Q's. I am on 98 now, but could be on XP in an hour. Most of the questions I asked wer from a XP stabdpoint.
Like Where is
AutoShareServer
Cached logged on Credentials
how do I disable DCOM?
DCOM is short for "Distributed Component Object Model". Now here is where someone else can take over. But I believe it has to do with the remote desktop feature in XP. I have remote set up with another PC on my LAN, and untill that time I had never herd of DCOM.
"an extension of the Component Object Model (COM) to support objects distributed across a network. DCOM was developed by Microsoft and has been submitted to the IETF as a draft standard. Since 1996, it has been part of Windows NT, and is also available for Windows 95. "

Can someone, Felix, maybe, tell me more about "Stateful Inspection" ?
Also about the "black box" outside the PC?
Thanks agin for all the good info here.
