I do have to note that this option is only valid for Internet Explorer's FTP
client function, and has nothing to do with the regular command line FTP
client. Also, it seems to be strangely absent from the options on the
NT4/IE5.0 box I'm sitting at right now. Maybe it's an IE version specific
option? Odd...

the required reboots throughout the OS. Granted, they still have a long way
to go... ;)
