[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 107474, post: 1076524"] I understand your complaint about keeping obsolete scriptors alive in Windows so long for backward compatibility reasons. In SWH the default for SRP to block risky file extensions running (vbs, hta, jar, etc) was to apply to standard users only. In WHHL the deafult is to apply these to Admins also. This proofs no home user needs them anymore (otherwise [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] would not have made this change). Therefor I fully agree with you. In stead of keeping all those old version scriptors alive for backward compatibility reasons, the default should be to disable them for home users and allow admins to enable them through group policy when they need it.
