OK now just how risky?

This dose not mess with every file and folder in
public_html right? This sounds like something a rookie like me should just not toy with yet!
This PHPsuexec is starting to look like more trouble than it's worth.

I think I have decided I will not risk upgrading with the chance of getting stuck on a server with PHPsuexec. It just seems to take to much control away from the user.
And from the sounds of it from google searches it will limit the scripts I can use far to much.
