=?iso-8859-1?Q?Herluf_J=F6rgensen?=

I need to run a program that needs direct disk acces on
Windows XP. I am using a bat file to run it but i need a
switch to be able to run it without the "protect my
computer and data from unauthorized program activity".
It works fine when i right click/Run as... and uncheck the
box, but i need to run it with some extra comands in the
bat file.
So is there a switch that i can use for this to be
effective ?

You cannot have direct access to hardware, without going through the
system. Period. You would have to have an independent boot of DOS (eg
a Win98 startup floppy) and a FAT 32 partition of hard disk
