OK! Good luck on your exams. Since you are pursuing security elective I also
highly recommend that you buy [and read] the Windows Security Resource Kit.
Note that you may be able to but it used on Amazon for a very reasonable
price [$10 or so]. I have had good luck buying used books from Amazon's used
book vendors that are available from the page where you find a book. Often
the books are in like new condition with a minor bent corner on the front
cover or such and can not be sold as new. --- Steve
