ID: 39773 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: sobieh at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Windows 2003 Server PHP Version: 5.2.0 New Comment: Why do you think your Apache service is run as a user who has enough privileges to access windows of other users? AFAIK by default Apache service uses least privileged system account possible.
