If you need to be protected from yourself, then enjoy. You *do* make a good
point but some of the protections can be just as annoying as the "are you
sure you want to continue?" that windows puts up all the time.
I started out in DOS, where there was no protection.... and one learns how to
behave ones self or pay the consequences.
On a system running more than one user, yes, it is a must to protect the
system. On my own single user system? I've never had a problem.
Climb down off your soapbox.....
