passwords/secret questions change??
My ( mark ) password has been illegally changed and so
has my secret question. Therefore i cannot access msn

Does anyone know how to make a new password without
knowing the actual password itself or the answer to the
secret question??

RIGHTS
I have a problem with domain account. I want to give
someone the ability to create, delete and modify domain
accounts (NT4 Environment) but at the same time remove
access to restart servers and services. Can this been
done without having them added to Domain Admins group?
Offtopic Question: I want to give someone rights to

Anti tracks
Recently I came across a company offering what they call anti track software.
It claims to free up HD space by removing unneeded files. It is by right
utilities.
www.rightutilities.com
Is this kind of program necessary to improve security?
I usually remove cookies and temp internet files after each session by using
the IE properties dialog box, as well as the history folder. Does this kind
of program do it more effectively?
If anyone has any experience on this topic I would appreciate some opinion
whether it is worth shelling out the (admittedly low) cost for such a program

Windows Firewall turns off automatically upon restart
I'm using XP with SP2 and I've enabled the Windows Firewall. However, if I

Domain Admin and Exchange Admin Group
One member of our security team has requested to be made a
member of the Domain Admins and Exchange Admins group. I
see this as being a risk with his past experiences.
How can I give him rights to create domain user and
exchange mailboxes without giving him rights to the groups
above.
I know you feel for me when I say I can live with giving
him access to create accounts but not actually being able
to restart a server or look at someone elses email.

access denied on update folder
Hi;
I have a windowsxp prof system (latest updates and patches, using updated AV
software and firewall all the time)..
I use C: for as a OS drive, D: for applications and E for data (with some
exceptions since not all applications allow me to install them on the D
drive)
I notice i have a folder in the root of D, that is named something like:
D:\0e1c386b6050a1e.......and some more random characters
This folder contains 8 files ( $shtdwn$.req , empty.cat, msdxm.ocx,
spmsq.dll, spuninst.exe, wmp.dll, wpm.dll, wpmcore7.dll. and wmpcore8.dll)
and one folder named update.
I ran a trojan check (from windowssecurity.com) on my system and that told
me that the update folder was not accessible. So I checked and it turned out
to have a read only attribute. I switched this off, using the regular
dialogue, clicked OK and found out that its read only attribute was turned
on again. Of course read only by itself should not forbid me to read the
folders content.
Checking google I found out that the mentioned files are related to windows
mediaplayer and internet explorer.
I can't help to wonder if I have some kind of nasty software in that folder,
though my system runs fine and my isp isný complaining about spam or
virussen on my machine.
Any info is appreciated

What do you guys think? (Spyware test)
Eric L. Howes just posted his results for his "Anti-
Spyware Test" (http://spywarewarrior.com/asw-test-results-
1.htm). He's not finished and will post results for the
rest of the spyware scanners out there.
According to this test, we are to conclude the top three
(from a "comparison" of ten total spyware scanners) are:
1. GIANT AntiSpyware (never even heard of this one before!)
2. Pest Patrol (I've heard of this one before)
3. Lavasoft Ad-aware SE Personal (we've ALL heard of this
one before!)
INCREDIBLY, Spybot Search & Destroy ended up in LAST PLACE
(the #10 spot out of competition with nine other spyware
scanners).

How to build + register COM objects when logged in as user?
I am developing a COM DLL in C++. At the tail end of my build cycle, the IDE
tries to register my DLL. It is failing, reason is ACCESS_DENIED, which I
expect, because after running as Administrator for years, I have recently
adopted the principle of least-access, and now log in under a user account.
When I install software, for example, I have to 'run-as' Administrator.
I wish to be able register the objects from the IDE while obeying the
principle of least access. What is the easiest way to do this on a routine
basis? Ideally, I would not have to change my build process at all.

gdtdi.sys folder error
Hi,
I have an error with MacAfee Internet security and my
windows System 32 folder gdtdi.sys.
I have tried with MacAfee support and with a MacAfee
support forum, to fix this but I am unable to do so.
The error is, when I connect my Laptop wirelessly with my
desktop computer via my LAN, the desktop shuts down and a
Microsoft error notification which states I have an error
with gdtdi.sys, please contact MacAfee.
I am at a loss now, so I was wondering if it was a
problem with the system32 folder gdtdi.sys. I have run
SFC /scannow; I've also done a clean reinstall of MacAfee
Internet security, to no avail. Can you please help me,
as its driving me nuts!?
I was wondering if it was possible to reinstall the
gdtdi.sys folder. I have searched my XP disc, but I can't
find a new gdtdi.sys folder to replace it with. I have
tried deleting the folder and running SFC /scannow to see
if that replaced the folder but it obviously doesn't!
