Re: Save As fails after Windows Update applied

Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install
security update MS06-015 (15 Apr-06)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/918165

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-015.mspx has
been revised to v1.1 to reflect the issues in KB918165 and now points
to the KB918165.

Now may not be the time to learn Regedit.
I suggest you use a .reg file already done for the purpose.

http://patch-info.de/WinXP/Downloads/KB908531_Share-To-Web.zip

Unzip it, extract the .reg file to a folder, right-click it and select
Merge and confirm when asked.

After applying the latest MS updates, I find that the "save as" option
will often fail. This has happened on 2 separate systems, while all of
my unpatched systems are working fine. The option works on simple
pages, while failing after appearing to save all of the elements on a
more complex page such as www.msn.com.

The error reported is "Error Saving Web Page" - "The Web page could not
be saved to the selected location."

I have installed Firefox on the two failing systems, and it saves the
pages without an error. The saved pages can even be read by IE.
