Hi

I don't know if anyone else has looked into the links provided by lostinlodos.
But I cannot replicate or find anything that remotely resembles this users problem.
I have responded to his latest post @ the other forum.
Feel free to have a look. but please folk do not make this personal. It the differences in us that makes life interesting.

So my final comment.
"Hi
@lostinlodos2
Well I don't want to get embroiled in some debate.
All I will say in is that I have/am beta testing both Vista 32 bit & IE7 variations.
I have never experienced the problems to which you relate. (Even when trying to-Have seen links in other place thank you).
I find it strange that so little is being experienced by the masses who auto update.
As far as this 'write protection' If this is the correct terminology (so it is what you really mean). Then this involves adding to or editing the bootcode of the EEPROM. Something that even under flashing f/w updates would not usually happen. It would certainly require the manufacturers permission in order to do this officially.
As for the "lock" being of MS user functions (thereby taking a software route). I've not seen this in relation to the statement you make regarding ODs'. All of the 'permissions' can be accessed via Defender > Explorer. You can turn on or off, even remove any & all instructions that are to be found here."
