I should not need > to know that. I could counter with: Why assume what the user may/may not know? They may have actually realized what they needed to do next. They may click on the message that pops up and read what it tells them they can do/explore their options on their own. There may be no further Q&A. The answer that was 'accepted' (or better yet - 'acknowledged') by the OP was: "It can be turned off completely through Control Panel>Security Center but not something I would recommend." I wouldn't call that detailed and there are some users who will not know how to get to the control panel - not to mention that even done in this manner, one would still have to "Change the way Security Center alerts me" and nothing like that was mentioned in the accepted/acknowledged answer. ;-) -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

You don't know how to debate. Too ignorant. To impress, you merely (as you just did) crawl in a corner.
