This is going to be very very useful around here. We had
purchased hundreds of new desktop PC's in a rather
aggressive modernization project last year. And, they
were all deployed with the factory installed XP OS which
had ICF disabled by default. We will obtain the hot fix
and figure out how to enable the Remote Desktop Advanced
Setting later to get our remote control back.
Thanks again.
