Jan,

Ron hasn't specified but there is a good chance that he has XPsp2.
In that case he could try the new command line switch:

    iexplore /rereg

It's almost as good as the KB194177 type repair.
The main difference is that it doesn't force the system to be quiesced.
FWIW I would at least stop all other iexplore.exe and msimn.exe
tasks as a compromise.

Also, the KB831429 list of regsvr32 commands contains some which
are still not in any other list.

FYI

Robert
