UNCONFIRMED  errors and comments from readers: 


[72]  Entire hack #21;
This hack doesn't work well. When installed, the context menu doesn't
activate until you click on a subdirectory. When the hack is run, notepad doesn't
come up.  Also, the directory when you run the hack is not the subdirectory.


[179]  1st paragraph, first line;
The paragraph starts out 
"Encrypting File SystemIt's quite easy to set up inexpensive hubs/routers,"  
which makes not sense.  It appears the "Encrypting File System" is spurious.


[256]  1st example in middle of page;
To delete a registry key using .reg files, the minus sign must be
inside the square bracket, not outside.

example given (first print edition of Aug '03):
-[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\Keyboard Response]

correct:
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\Keyboard Response]
