Folks, I've been following your conversation about granting too much file access to hackers. I utilize Norton Internet Security Intrusion Protection and to date have had no problems with intruders. I wish to take the risk and set up a symbolic link between htdocs in Program Files and a folder on my desktop... using the System Administrator Prompt, so that I can easily modify files and then save them within htdocs. After setting up the administrative-level symbolic link, what directives in conf.ini for Apache 2.2.15 would I need to change? Thanks. PS. I do take frequent full system image backups, so I'm willing to take a risk, as I mentioned. Thanks again. Alan
