There is an easier way to stop the registry part of the problem that I've
overlooked until just now (doh!).
Go into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/CurrentControlSet/Control/SecurePipeServers
Create a key called winreg
Set the security on it however you like, but do NOT give "everyone" any access.
(also do not give "everyone" NO access, since YOU are also a member of
everyone - just don't have an entry in the ACL for everyone).
Reboot.
Poof - part of the problem is now solved.
I still recommend using the everyone2user tool anyway - tends to keep down
mischief.
If/when I figure out how to fix more of it, I'll let everyone know.
BTW, the 4.3 version of the ISS Internet Scanner _will_ have a check for the
presence of this key and whether everyone has any access. I'll have it
coded in the next 10 minutes... <g>
