Ärende: DEP-Data Execution Preven
=================================
I have been reading about DEP (Data Execution Prevention) and decided I
wanted to set it to AlwaysOn.

It is currently set to Optin.

So I went to the DEP tab in System Properties and clicked the option
"Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select.".

In the window below that option was one entry - "Windows Help & Support"

The check box was checked, but because I believe that I was the one who
made the entry I Unchecked the check box, because I wanted ALL Programs
and Services to be protected ALWAYS.

Upon further reading I learned that the BOOT.INI file was where the
setting for DEP was when the computer (XP) started up.

So I looked at the BOOT.INI file and saw that it hadn't been changed.

The setting was still: noexecute=optin /fastdetect .

Next I Restarted the XP box, and checked BOOT.INI again, but still no
change.

I read some more in Help and Support and here is what I found out:

I thought before I used these instructions that I better check with the
people here to see what comments I could get from You All.

All Help Is Appreciated Very Much.       Thanks!
