Whaaaaaat? Edit the NTDLR??????
Now normally I don’t knock on others “helpful” tips, but
this just made me sit back and say “WOW!”
While reading through the massive amount of emails I get on
a daily basis, I came upon an email that came to me last week from MCPMag.com.
The article was written by Chris Wolf, an MVP. Now I may be off my rocker, but
I don’t think this should be in the hands of most “admins”. The article
involved someone asking for a “registry hack” to disable safe mode. In response
to this question, Chris responds with what amounts to editing the NTDLR with a
hex editor to change a value in the file.
I may be nuts, but would I recommend editing the NTDLR on a
production system? NO! Also how can this be a viable solution for “fixing” this
problem? Also, editing the NTDLR with a hex editor? I would love for someone to
implement this and then call PSS. They might just laugh that person off the
phone.
Oh well… think I am nuts for this bugging me? Let me know….
