Cheeky, did you hear the ITV news segment last week about the guy in Edmonton who accidentally hacked into other peoples computers using a backdoor in the Windows 95/98 program? Apparently, it has something to do with sharing files which can be found in the Properties menu, if you take the check marks out of all the boxes an outside person can't access your computer..I may be wrong on this because I only caught the end of the news article.. They said Microsoft has been contacted and they are already aware of the problem and are trying to fix it.. I haven't checked my own computer yet, just going to look for the file-sharing option, do you know anything about it? ze gyp
