Anyone. I have a Dell computer that was given to me by a company.I looked into my autoexec.bat,by using msconfig,and found the following. if not "%os%"=="windows-nt"=%comspect%"=="c:\windows\comand.com"sets-local-dir= set win32dmipath-c\dmi set path=c:\dmi\bin Also in my startup 3com DMI agent Anyone know what all this does? I looked into the readme file and found that DMI is "Dell open manage instrumentation ver 5.1 but have no idea what it does.Does this have anything to do with being on a local network and allowing them to "see" my computer? Thanks,David
