BTW - I noticed you have what looks to be a real email address in your post.
Expect the spam for that email to... double or more. Please use a fake
email from now on or somehow bungle it.

Doug:
When I use this utility I get an error message "You don't have sufficient
permission". Then the default screen saver is changed to "My picture slide
show" of the last user logged on. Which is okay. It did stop one of my sons
from having pictures stored on here that he had been warned about. I know
you're busy, but I just had to share that one.

Note the valid e:mail address as well as the total
disregard for spam that I have. Your statement is patently
false Shenan. Real e:mail address does not = spam if you
have things configured correctly and have taken
precautions. Don't be a fear monger. Have fun.

Jerry,

You will probably need Administrator level privileges to use this utility,
or even make the necessary registry changes manually.

Can you try the utility again? I made some changes to the coding, and
version 1.2 should correct this issue. You will still need to be logged in
as an Administrator level user, to use this utility.

Unfortunately, thanks to SWEN, real email address posted on a world-wide
spread and accessible newsgroup DOES equal spam. I created the email on
this account 3 days ago - after posting on here, I immediately started
receiving spam at the address after not having any before using the address
here (for a day.)

Also, properly configured will not stop all the spam. My home address (not
posted here obviously) is well configured for fighting spam with SpamBayes
and other assorted spam filter/blockers - but some does squeeze through.

Also, most people who post here with their real address do not know the
danger, I let them know - but they are likely already partially screwed by
the time I do - I just hope some read before posting and save themselves.
