Another good start would be to disassociate .vbs file extensions with the
inbuilt windows scripting thing.   Has anyone seen vb scripting used for a
legitimate purpose?

Its a shame that Outlook/Outlook Express has such a hold on people.  I have
tried to set up a small office with pegasus mail before and got told by one
of the directors that they didn't like it and wanted OE.  He wasn't at all
interested in an explanation as to why this was a really bad plan.

Needless to say, a few months later they got really wopped by that snow
white and the seven dwarfs effort.

And they're *still* using OE (as far as I know).  Some people will just
never learn....
