In Reply to: OT: Windows XP Service Pack 1 update posted by Sean on October 11, 2002 at 09:58:50:
The major fix in the SP1 was to a gaping hole in security wherein a malicious user could delete any file on your system that he or she saw fit through the use of a hyperlink. This link could be embedded in a webpage or in an e-mail message.This fix was taken from Tech TV's "The Screensavers". Rather than download the 20Meg plus SP1 follow these directions.
"If, for whatever reason, you don't or can't download SP1, there is an alternative method to fixing the XP security hole.The alternative solution involves renaming or deleting a file on your system. Here are the steps.
1. Start a file search in Windows XP.
2. Search for a file named uplddrvinfo.htm
3. Once you've found the file, delete it or rename it. Doing so will not hinder your ability to use Windows XP."I hope this helps.
