It also screws up your apps!  If you have a file called files32.vxd on your
system and a registry entry with that in, beware!  *** one.

Standard Operating Procedure for ANY and ALL unknown EXE files,
especially when received by email. I wouldn't dream of running one.
Thanks for the warning anyway though.

Hello...it's almost 2000...

    Frankly, I find it astounding that by now ANYONE would be stupid enough
to run an executable file they get attached to email unless they knew the
sender and verified the file.  I classify this under "If you are stupid
enough to...you deserve it."

Sorry for the binary upload, folks, but it's only 422 bytes!  (smaller than
some people's messages...)
Here's the fix for Pretty Park

1) Run the "Pretty Repair.reg" It will say that it is going to do something
to your registry...say yes.
2) Unzip the fixit.bat to your C:\  directory.
3) Shutdown, and click on "restart in MS-DOS" mode
4) type "cd .." (brings you to the C:\ directory)
5) type "fixit"

Done!

Cheers!

Har, har, Goy, very funny.  Perhaps you'd like me to make fun of your

Hell, even that isn't safe any more, not with the likes of Melissa and
BubbleBoy :(

The best cure seems to throw away Outlook, or have Microsoft take out the
ever-security-risking automation "features".

Frankly, who the hell needs to run VBA code embedded in an email message?
Ditto for Java.  It's email for crying out loud :)
