 So how do you find out what's inside a ZIP file without giving it
free access to your computer? In the Win31 days, all you had to do was
open it in a RAM drive, but under "modern" windows you can never find
where the bloody file ends up! There's a 40GB drive with 5Gb of
Windows rubbish all over the place... where'd it go?

If you create a RAM drive with win98 it makes the computer hesitate on a lot
of tasks.  If you set TEMP and/or TMP to the ramdrive it will seize the OS.



 I'm not on the Internet, but if I ever do it will be with a separate
computer totally isolated with nothing of value anywhere on the drive.



Sitting your windows machines behind a Linux server seems to block
intruders.

Cheers
Niels
