See below:

(1) MS plans to re-release MS06-015 on 25 Apr-06 to address known issues associated with the first release of the update:

"When the update is re-released, it's going to be very much targeted to people who are having the problem, or people who have not installed MS06-015 yet. That means if you have already installed MS06-015 and are not having the problem, there's no action here for you. Windows Update, Microsoft Update, and Automatic Update will have detection logic built into them to only offer the revised update (which essentially includes the reg key fix) to those customers who either don't have MS06-015 or are having the problem."

(2) You may experience problems in Windows Explorer or in the Windows shell after you install security update MS06-015 (v3.0, 20 Apr-06)

(3) Mike Reavey [MSFT] suggests here http://blogs.technet.com/msrc/archive/2006/04/18/425473.aspx that older NVIDIA graphics card drivers [and Nvidia's Nview desktop] may be a factor in applications ceasing to respond after installing MS06-015. Check your computer manufacturer's Tech Support pages for NVIDIA driver updates or start here: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
