Well this is neat. I like the exploits in windows—they're fun to play with.

Yeah, I checked this out and tested the whole exploit thing a week or two ago...

Didn't seem to do any real damage (I probably should have thought about it a bit before I tested it)
But it DID kind of hurt my STart menu in that after I was done with it all those lovely little programs that get listed on the XP start menu (The most commonly openned programs)... They all vanished off the list and I am unable to get them back.

I'm fine with it though, they weren't really that important to me and I've already found ways to compensate for them.

For a couple days using the exploit also killed the configurations for my mouse... But I was able to fix that.

I think there were a couple other little blips I noticed after testing the exploit, but none of them were very noticeable at all.

The only one that I'd be careful for is the programs under the Start Menu issue... But I'm not even 100% sure they dissapeared because of the SYSTEM account.

I'd just keep it in mind if any of you choose to test it at all.

i just tryed to remotly connect to my test PC using this method
it succeeded, then, depending on the XP service pack, it would either let me do it with guest
or not let me do it with guest, if you can then the PC is just wide open from guest----> system

when i was in i experimented with differant things
i changed the administrator and all the other passwords remotly, locking the user out

you can kill the AV's and FWL's on a PC

you can also revert windows back to its previus state (being win 98 here)

you can play messages or music to the user of the PC, you can lock the PC

...the write of this article is posting feedback on it?
