Safe isn't safe.

If I want to run code that I don't really trust, I fire up my trusty ol' Virtual PC, after having backed up the disk image. This has no personal data in it. If whatever it is does Naughty Things, I can back them out by restoring the backup of the disk image.

Yes, we know. We also know while there's no rm on Windows unlink is still there. The point is you can take simple precautions that go a rather long way for little effort. Most don't have Virtual PC, or Pear etc. etc., or even User Mode Linux for that matter, setup. `-- I'm not belgian but I play one on TV.`	[reply]
