I often enter the Lockergnome chat room with the intent to exchange thoughts on random topics. Without warning, something smart will be shared with those in attendance. The talkative Gnomie known as 'Evil_Warrior' thought of another great way to foil destructive scripts (like those which have recently plagued Microsoft Outlook users). Since some of these destructive worms rely on classic DOS utilities to wreak havoc, you may wish to rename a few of the more system-critical apps. For instance, change FORMAT.COM to FORMAT1.COM (found within your Windows \ Command folder). FDISK.EXE is another one you may wish to modify.
