That's where you are wrong larry, if you have an NX capable CPU
("hardware enforced") DEP is turned on by default on all and every process. Software DEP is not really DEP it's more like SafeSEH... See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/875352 ("A detailed description of the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) feature in Windows XP Service Pack 2...") "OptIn - This setting is the default configuration. On systems with processors that can implement hardware-enforced DEP, DEP is enabled by default for limited system binaries and programs that "opt-in." With this option, only Windows system binaries are covered by DEP by default. " I'm almost positive that the limited system binaries do not include Internet Explorer. At the time they made this configuration decision too many controls were broken by turning on DEP by default. And the policy is the same in Vista. For now.
