I ran Belarc Advisor tool and was surprised at the high numbers of "failed"
I saw in various settings for my PC. For a person running a standalone XP
Pro desktop, with no home network - what would be the best or most important
settings to be looked at - and configured on my PC?

I also ran the NG scoring tool gui and I secured %Sysroot% files.
I ran into problems with configuring reg.exe. The current config shows:
Administrators, Power Users, SYSTEM, Users... NG recommends Admin, SYSTEM,
Interactive but I got some message concerning "inheirited properties"
Btw - what the heck is the INTERACTIVE group? I notice they suggest this
setting for a couple of files in that segment of the benchmark report.

TIA

Interactive group are all users who logon to the computer as an interactive
process. Thus if Tom, Dick, and Harry logon to their respective accounts,
while they are using the computer, they are members of the Interactive
group.

So I'd have to have Interactive defined as a group, and then include tom,
dick and harry to Interactive. Makes sense. thanks.
