Agreed... If you are in charge of medium to large network and not all of your
users are not as Windows savy to go attempting to insert/remove reg keys. You
might send out a memo directing users here

http://www.grc.com/default.htm

with a note to download and use the "Three Muskateers." These are excelent
freeware apps to close off some obvious holes in Windows. They include UPnP,
DCOMbobulator, and Shoot the Messenger. Hope this is of use to someone.
