Re: Security templates and settings in Windows XP

And I'd follow the MS security templates... which are tested with their patches.

Remember the issues with 05-051 [bypass traverse] occurred because admins deviated from MS security guidance and didn't test.

This is one of the steps towards securing Windows XP.

Thanks,

William
