What you choose to do on your network is up to you, of course, but I think it is very bad practice to offer advice on a PHP mailing list that advises people that have machines (potentially connected to the internet) set up with wide open shares and apache running as Administrator. I am not so sure that you cannot set the permissions of the folder correctly anyway, and it is only my lack of Windows XP that has stopped me from commenting on this. If you wish to employ bad practice for your own home setup that is fine, please don't post to this group (which is archived and will be searched) and advocate similar practice for everybody else. If your firewall is the built in XP one, don't rely on it at all, I have read reports of the SP2 version of this being hacked within a couple of days of it being released. Be warned - you run Apache as administrator, with wide open shares at your own risk - your system registry is a file, your passwords are stored in a file, your system is on that HD - do you really want to risk some 14yo script kiddie smashing your machine just cos you left the doors wide open?
