While it would not help the older MS OS's, I wonder if MS will exploit the abiility to run as other users to develop a sandbox. All stuff in this folder is run as nobody. Can only write to that folder, can only run. Can't connect.

Probably dreaming, because it's obviously not an MS security issue. It's the lead story on two National news broadcast, and there is not a notice anywhere on the MS site (searched for ILOVEYOU on 9:30 PM PDT May 4) Think it would at least be on tech net security, or at least exchange to defend against it. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/default.asp
