No, it doesn't (I tested, it still asks for the pasword on open). BUT,
if it was that easy for a cracker to patch around the printing thing, it
probably wouldn't be that hard to patch around the open command (that,
like the print command, would be very easy to track down in a
disassembler/monitor. I'm not an expert in such things, but looking
these "cracks" you see all over the place, it couldn't be that hard.) I
would think that the "no edit" and other security options in Exchange
would be much harder to track down.
