Not so, apparently.  This cache is stored in the [...]]]></description>

Text clipped from http://www.paulspoerry.com/2007/05/09/how-to-access-administrative-shares-on-vista-c/ To enable administrative shares you gotta make a registry change. Click on the orb and in the search box type ‘regedit’ and hit enter. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System. Add a new DWORDÂ called “LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy” and give it a value of [...]]]></description>

Sure, you can block it with Group Policy, but that is a little heavy-handed. You can disable it in XP by going into the Regional and Language Options in the Control Panel, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is very handy for making applications run before user login on a Windows box.  The instructions are pretty simple: Acquire instsrv.exe and srvany.exe from the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit.  You can put these files wherever you want, but it is probably best to dump them into %WINDIR%\System32 (which is usually &#8220;C:\Windows\System32&#8243; on Windows [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This baffles me. Sun Microsystems, the company who produces Java, which is commonly used as a web browser plugin, occasionally offers updates to Java. These updates are almost always due to someone discovering an exploitable security hole and Sun patching that hole. This makes perfect sense and frankly is a necessity. However, what I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
