[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 859867, member: 32260"] I could do it if I would work for MS to persuade people to use WD.:) For some reason, MS does not want to apply this tweak by default in Windows Home and they know exactly how it works (but maybe they are just lazy). This tweak can only solve the problem of some people with opening folders with many executables. This problem can be easily solved by using subfolders, without compromising the security. Most people do not store many executables in one folder and do not have such a problem. Other performance problems (copying files, installing/uninstalling applications, etc.) will be still present. Furthermore, it is not clear if the WD BAFS feature will work properly (it can be tested). The last problem is that MS could flag ConfigureDefender as a hack-tool, because of such an option that decreases the default security. So, there are some pros and cons. I will investigate it in the feature.:)(y) [/QUOTE]
