When I was using XP I always had a shared folder, but it only contained files that I wanted to share. Copies of files at that. Do you consider a password protected shared folder safe? How about without simple file sharing, and with restrictions set on the secruity tab? So, how would someone get past the shared folder?

Heh.. Only the good one left. @Ryan, yeap, I sure remember smbdie.exe. In fact I still have it with me. Nearly everyone has SP2 now and won't be affected by this bug anymore. @Jen, yeah my evil twin is dead. Heh.. Only the good one left.
