Like people have noted, this old news But to comment on what you said, it protects you against the exploit not the vulnerability, you might just as well drop an exe in the users start folder, yes it wouldn't be instant but preciously few people would notice it --jelmer ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter King To: full-disclosure () netsys com Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2003 12:31 PM Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Internet Explorer (BAN IT !!!) i confirm that an unprivileged user is safe from this exploit. and i agree with you : too many people are running their Windows with Full Privileges :/ Regards.

Absolutely no effect on WMP. My original WMP remains and works. It depends whether you were logging as a privileged user or not. If not, then your browser can't delete the wmplayer.exe file, becausethe only user that can change/delete the wmplayer.exe file is privileged user.
