Safe XP allows working with command line parameters now. It could be helpful if you use SafeXP in any network environment. Syntax for execution from the command line is as follows: SafeXP.exe
where is the name of the previously saved file.

Example: SafeXP c:safexpsafexp.dat

This will start Safe XP in minimized (invisible mode), load values from
c:safexpsafexp.dat. Then it will apply values into the running/calling
workstation. After execution program will be closed automatically.

In network (domain) environment, you can copy both SafeXP.exe and
(for instance) SafeXP.dat files to the Netlogon share to load your
predefined Safe XP settings silently to every workstation which is
connected to the network.

The command-line parameter is optional. If no parameter is specified,
the program will start normally.

Meh, you can do all these things manually if you know what you're doing.

Got a kick out of this...(so-called "features")...

· Make Windows to run faster and more secure.
· Protect your privacy and strength Internet protection.
· Disable Spyware-like activities of Windows XP (also 2000&ME&98) Operating System, Media Player, Internet Explorer and Outlook.

Those are marketing gimics not features.

I'm not saying it's a bad app(I tried it way back when), but any Windows power user knows how to tweak these setting already.

Oddly, switching to a different browser will do away with some of the exploits mentioned and secure your machine better than any "tweaks" you can perform.

my .02¢

peace.
