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. Iain

>So please don't run this exe , JUST DELETE THE MESSAGE !!!!!! 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. Joe McGinn _________________________ GA-Sports Writer http://www.ga-sports.com/

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." ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

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!

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 :) -Larry ==-----
