Thanks anup,

Is there anything simpler that you know of? The script has a lot of extra features that I don't really need... All I need is to be able to protect my /cgi-bin/links/admin directory against http access, but allow other cgi scripts to access whatever they need from that directory. This is really easy to implement with Unix using .htaccess, but with Windows 2000 I don't even know where to begin...
