windows blocking files.

[Elazul Yagami]

apparently one of the flocking stupid features of flocking xp sp2, is that it automatically blocks (see deletes) certain files, that it deems "harmful"

 

since i'm not a flocking glutz, and i know if the file is harmful or not (seriously, the method windows is taking is basically cutting the flocking arm off, just because one finger MIGHT have a bruise on it), i want to stop windows from automatically doing that.

 

is there a way?

 

a setting to change, a patch, a registry entry, anything?

XP SP2 has that? I was not aware of that. But I guess that's part of the Security Center. Go to Start -> Run -> Type in "services.msc" -> Scroll down to Security Center and Stop the Process. The Right click on it and disable it.

please turn it off, you don't need that joke they call a "security center"

That's the first thing I did on my new computer, that security center is nothing but a pain in the rear end.

Ironic how the Security Center is so useless after all. One does not need it if you have somekind of a firewall and anti-virus program in use alrady.

 

Windows Firewall...Way too effective for its own good.

so killing the security center does that.

 

sweet.

it's dead now.

gotta test and see though.
