nope. am not interested in hacking like this. am trying to check if winxp is 
basically 'untrustable' and how much work is required for 
'pall-of-gloom-adium' to try to win user confidence (antithetical?).

so, if you can just boot up from a linux distro cd or floppy, and you have 
the whole winxp data in front, that's what i wanna know.

supreet, dhruv, and all others at ilug-d, please sharpen your talons and 
let's find this out. this would have very interesting consequences. 
trust me. (oops!)
