I am absolutely sure that the default for a workstation is NO IIS. I have two. They exist as victims, what else, and they are not running anything of the sort. I'm going to have to purchase one of those damnably expensive win2k server 5-license copies, just so that I can have the new fingerprint (hey, I only break my own machines for free). There is absolutely not an install of IIS on win2k Pro, unless you put it there. Oh, and I DO know how to do things like that on windows (but prefer not to). -- Does anybody else think that W2K actually is doing what Y2K only dreamed of? - Larry Sheldon
