Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: quick and dirty http page server

This may be an urban legend, but I've heard that if you turn off RPC, Windows can't reboot. I only use Windows at work, and then mostly as a dumb terminal to get to the Unix boxes, so I have no idea if this is true. I'm not about to find out by doing it, either, because I don't need the MCSEs hitting me with The Big Foam Cluebat. Still, I've heard it a few times, and from different sources, so I'd have to wonder if it might not be true.

This isn't an urban legend. I once tried to turn it off in a fresh Win2k install and I had to do another fresh install.
