Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole]

as far as i know, it works perfectly!
it disables dcom, so both dcom1/2 are "patched"

already discussed at the forum .....

i remember that shit is a little bit old to change the reg key from Y (=YES) to "N" (=NO)
but @ Linux regedit this entry doesn't exist, or?!

I disabled it on my system and works fine. Basically depends on the applications that you are using. Maybe you have an app that uses DCOM ..... so it depends

Greetings,
My first post in the board... There is no problem disabling the key, unless you are one of the following: a) a user working with shared contacts in a ms exchange server enviroment

a user working with very specific web base programs.
