Thanks for response; guess I'll wait for the fix 04/25 as no other
problems have surfaced & I can get around this issue.

Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install
security
update MS06-015
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/918165

Revised - Vulnerability in Windows Explorer Could Allow Remote Code
Execution
(908531)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS06-015.mspx
Note according to the Bulletin, MS will release an revised version of
KB908531
(MS06-015) on April 25th - See FAQ section

For those who are experiencing problems now after installation of the
update and
who have Hewlett Packard's Share to Web Software, there are two registry
patches
to choose from (run either one or the other) not both (NB both patches do
the
same thing):

Ottmar Freudenberger's is available at:-
http://patch-info.de/WinXP/Downloads/KB908531_Share-To-Web.zip
(Note this is a Zip file and will need to be extracted. It contains a REG
file
which needs to be imported into the registry)

and Kelly's patch is available at:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Line #383 - this is a vbs file and instructions on how to use such files
are at
the top of the page.

If you hare not using "Share to Web Software" then consider the
following:

Are you using a Nvidia video card? Check for updated drivers.
http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

Do you have Kerio Personal Firewall, if so make sure you read the article
carefully: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/918165

For additional information regarding this issue, have a look at the
posting on

"Problems in Windows Explorer/ Windows shell due to 908531"

Though I have downloaded all patches since my original post in April, I am
still unable to open IE 6 from the start menu or ie.exe. I can get to ie by
other means but this is a PITA. Any ideas?
