Added a network to microsoft on school machines.

I was bored today and was just messing around to see what there was to do on a student account.

I looked in "My Network Places" and there was an option that said "Add a Network". I figured if the school was cautious enough to disable the right click button, they certainly wouldn't let me add a network. Well, I was wrong. It let me add ftp.microsoft.com to my network places.

When i click on the folder I get this...

I opened the folder Softlib and got another folder....

And finally when I opened that folder I saw roughly a little over 1000 .Exe files.

Does anyone know what ftp.microsoft.com is for? And why it would be on a network?

Judging by the dates on some of the stuff in there it looks like an old repository for drivers, updates, patches, etc. Probably from the good ol days of dos

Yep, your probably right. Before I deleted the network I found a folder that said "y2kfix". Here's to hoping I can find a better FTP to put on the network.....

Some of the files I reconized as NT40 stuff
