Not exactly. It's easy enough to call me a whiner when security fails. What would you like for me to show that although
I may be whinning the issue still occurs or is for you "whinning" the be all and end all of the issue?

I had set Group Policy on the domain controller so that the client could not change their homepage. Obviously that
worked for changing the homepage on the client was unavailable. Now you tell me what more I could have done?
Changing the homepage on the client was UNAVAILABLE. GREYED OUT. NOT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE
HOME PAGE ON THE CL:IENT. Please tell me what more I could have done?

The client while connected to the domain controller visited a page on the net that used IE vulernabilities to change the
home page. The new homepage was UNAVAILABLE on the client to change. GREYED OUT. NOT POSSIBLE
TO CHANGE THE HOME PAGE ON THE CLIENT.

I had to remove the Group Policy so that I could restore the client's homepage AND clean out the registry entries that
were changed. The client had no access to the registry but the IE security issues sure did. Whinning OK. These
security issues will never be fixed if that is all you consider is important here. I think it is IE security issues and you think
it is "whinning." No wonder these issues persist.
