Boot.ini file question.

[Ampz]

I know alot of people can answer this not just coders but you guys basically have to know lol. Anyway a guy told me to edit my boot.ini from:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect



To: noexecute=AlwaysOff

What does that do?

DEP - Data Execution Prevention: This process feature increases security, but may cause problems with certain programs.

1. /NoExecute=OptIn, enables DEP for Windows system files
2. /NoExecute=OptOut, enables systemwide DEP
3. /NoExecute=AlwaysOn, enables systemwide DEP without pssibility of individual application exclusion
4. /NoExecute=AlwaysOff, disables DEP completely.
