David,
YW. Stopping the Protected Storage service and try clear Forms & Passwords. Might work, worth trying..

Ramesh,
Thanks so much. The System Restore rollback worked! Now
I have to figure out (and I'll repost a new subject about
it) why under Internet Options/Content/AutoComplete, I am
unable to clear AutoComplete History so I can "start
over" without deleting the Protected Storage registry.
Presently (and this was why I originally "tampered" with
the registry and lost the Protected Storage key until you
rescued me), all attempts to "clear forms," for example,
results in a perpetual "hourglass hang" before IE6
finally stops responding and then crashes.
Any ideas again?
