ALL XP Users Read In.... Very Important Security Flaw Fix (09-10-2002 until 10-11-2002)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This applies to ALL versions of XP.....
For those of us who can't use SP1, or have a slow connection that will take forever to D/L SP1... Do the following IMMEDIATELY! This IS a major flaw in XP that has now been released publically.
Either search you HD for the file uplddrvinfo.htm or go to the folder WindowsPCHealthHelpCtrSystemDFS
and rename this file to uplddrvinfo.htm.bak
or its believed it is safe to delete the file with no harmful affects as well.
(Reboot when done of course)
If you don't do this it will be a simple thing for someone to delete files from ANY folder on your HD with a simple weblink! I'm not kidding folks, this is a serious flaw that the community has been keeeping secret for our protection. But it has now been leaked. Even if you plan on getting and installing SP1, do this NOW!
