EDIT: Never mind. Think I got my answer in the Tech Support forum.
Hey, All,
Do any of you happen to know anything about the "Default Deny" feature within Windows? As in how I turn it on, configure it, things to know, things to be wary of, etc.?
It's apparently a feature that causes Windows to automatically refuse permission to install anything on the computer automatically. This would have obvious appeal in terms of Web security. 🙂 Presumably it can be turned off temporarily when a person wants to let the machine download something automatically (Norton updates, for example)?
There was a little snippet about this feature in one of my computer magazines recently, but they don't say anything else about it. A search on Microsoft.com and also the Help menu on my computer (W2K Pro) yielded nothing tangible.
Anyone wanna impress the heck out of me with some info on this? 😎
PS: I'm posting a duplicate of this post in the Technical Support folder in order to maximize potential responses. 😀
