"The FirstRUN Personalizaton that occurs at desktop initial start has an option to Run Internet Apps as Spot. [b]Question[/b] Understanding that this turns [b][u]ON[/u][/b] system features to support Spot, if I re-enter FirstRUN and uncheck the box, will FirstRUN undo the prior setup? (that is, "Will it turn OFF the features allowing Root to dominate?") I am wondering if FirstRUN can be used a toggle for this system feature. FirstRUN is a great simple to understand tool for new users. Everyone I have had use Puppy from CD/DVD boot understand this without any assistance. Thanks

"Ticking the checkbox does not turn on Internet apps to run as spot, it only causes the Login & Security Manager to run, which can then be used to turn on or turn off apps running as spot.
