BUG:
Notepad being blocked when folder notepad is on Desktop of user

HOW-TO
Create a folder on the logged in users account (X:\Documents and
Settings\<Name of logged in user>\Desktop)
Rename folder to "notepad" (Not CAPS-sensitive)
Open Internet Explorer 6 (and higher)
Open any page on the internet
Right-click page and select "View source"

WHAT HAPPENS
A new explorer-session is started displaying the content of the folder
Notepad on the logged in users desktop

WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN
Notepad should start and display the source-code for the page in
question

NOTED ON
Windows 98 2nd edition (NL) - updated to the point with
Windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Windows XP Professional OEM (UK) - updated to the point with
Windowsupdate.microsoft.com

EXTRA INFO
Logged in as Administrator (or equivalent)

REPRODUCIBLE?
Yes, renaming the folder to Notepad makes the "View Source" work again


----

Sorry if this should go somewhere else, but I searched and searched but I
couldn't find the webpage / source I could submit bugs to (without paying
$35,-!)

Anyway, if someone could point me or this in the right direction then maybe
this can get fixed.

With kind regards,
Aprazeth

PS:
I can be reached on www.planetapra.com or via email on the supplied
email-address (Do remove the bits between the () and reverse the MOC to COM)
