Hi, Under Win2k, I can drag a BAT file onto the CMD window from a UNC path and it will place the path to the file at the prompt ready to run. On Vista, I just get a "no entry" sign. I have to do complex builds (e.g. platform SDK) at the command prompt and on Vista have to type the paths manually.

Three Security questions in...
