1. Using the following this can be accomplished with the default installation of Windows 95 and 98 and Internet Explorer 5 browsers and accompanying mail/news clients

Hence, this will only work on default OS installs.

After you "explain" why you either 1) lack reading comprehension skills or 2) purposefully ignored the instruction for getting the exploit to work, please get back to why you even bothered to mess with the CreateFile() API call and why you are so sure that there is really no exploit, even though MICROSOFT ISSUED A PATCH AND CALLED THE BUG "CRITICAL" which is the HIGHEST RISK LEVEL in Microsoft's categorization scheme.

Apparently you are even more of a shill for Microsoft than THEY are!

This one was even more fun than the one time you were convinced you were "right" and yet didn't know the difference between POP and SMTP protocols.

You are clearly living proof of your assertion that it doesn't take someone with great experience or knowlege to "administer" Windows OS's. You just need to be able to find your balls. (Mouse balls, that is.)

Slow down, Forrest, and read my original point in #17:

"Oh, puh-lease. This so-called "exploit" is hardly "devastating" or "unfixable". It doesn't work on Windows XP at all."
