Configuring Data Execution Prevention

[Terry Pinnell]

Several articles I've been reading recently (while trying to
understand why my SP2 installation resulted in a raft of problems)
make the mistake of advising "End users who are logged on as
administrators can manually configure DEP between the OptIn and OptOut
policies using the Data Execution Prevention tab inside the System
Properties dialog box." For anyone else who ends up here, that's not
possible in XP *Home*, as there is no such tab. The only way I've
found is to do it manually via System Properties|Advanced|Startup &
Recovery|Settings.

Modifying boot.ini is another possibility

Have a look at references to boot.ini on this page

Yep, that's what I meant by my last sentence.
