I think it could indeed be very wise not to insert FAT removable media
into 'high reliability' WindowsXP machines, but not because of the
patch I've proposed. A prudent IT manager might take a look at how
many fastfat.sys crashes are being reported on WindowsXP and realise
that viewing ones holiday photos on your heart bypass machine isn't a
great idea :-)

Cheers, Tridge
