Root Pulled: Thanks

[David P Atkins]

Thanks to all who responded to the list & my personal email concerning
"Open File"  security concerns in WWW browsers. 

As simply hiding files didn't work, I can attest to the secure combination
of IKIOSK (disabling Open File) & Bill Moseley's suggestion & excellent
page on editing the .exe to eleminate the file url location option in
Netscape (e.g. you can't type the url file:///C|/stuff/).

Still leaves the problem that now folks can't use personal web pages from
the A:> drive....someday.

David
