[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 994759, member: 37647"] I am sure it didn't! But the brilliance -- or idiocy, depending on how you look at it -- of ReHIPS is the concept of separate user accounts for each isolated app. Let's say I download a Microsoft Publisher file with Pony. The file will open in the ReHIPS MS Office user account, and trash everything there, unless there is another rule to stop it. But fortunately enough, your precious pics aren't there, because they are in your [B]real[/B] user account. Pony can't even see them, and there is no way in ReHIPS to mitigate that protection, except for turning off ReHIPS altogether. (This last point happens to drive me crazy, because it is so stubbornly inflexible.) [/QUOTE]
