Which makes me wonder again (and so far nobody has given me a clear answer to this, and the docs don't either): Either - PK (or a desktop app using it) is able to override lower level system security settings (in which case to me it's malware), - or it relies on permissive lower level settings, in which case it leaves the system wide open to anything not using it to filter permissions. Or maybe I'm missing a third possible scenario. ?? Ciao, -- FA
