Good luck, Steve. I have the same problem with IE6 in XP Pro. I went through
the entire mantra that the experts here suggest: AdAware, Spybot,
CWShredder, Virus Scan, Hijack This, etc. Not one thing was found. I even
did the mshtmler.dll replacement. I was left twisting in the wind.
Apparently there's not a lot to suggest beyond the usual things that seem to
appear in this ng.
Okay, so I'm a little frustrated. But I was unhappy with seeing the same
thing thrown at me three or four times when I tried to make it clear that it
didn't work the first time.
If SP2 wasn't so close to being released I'd probably bite the bullet and do
a reinstall over my existing XP Pro.
