[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 760939, member: 37647"] That makes a lot of sense. But [USER=56349]@Lockdown[/USER] seems to think it's easier than that, and I would like to hear more about it from him, if possible. [USER=11608]@ZeroDay[/USER]: The majority of MT members are not IT professionals, they are home users, and don't know how to code (but maybe their kids can :) ). However, many have learned how to read and modify a command line string, which is a skill necessary for the proper configuration of a lot of the advanced security solutions. But once you start talking about stuff like APIs and COM interfaces, it goes over the head of most forum members. And that is too bad, as you said. If someone would put up a few posts such as "API for dummies", or "COM for dummies", etc, that would be a great service to the community, IMHO. People want to understand but don't know where or how to break the ice. [/QUOTE]
