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

Revised - Vulnerability in Windows Explorer Could Allow Remote Code Execution
(908531)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS06-015.mspx
Note according to the Bulletin, MS will release an revised version of KB908531
(MS06-015) on April 25th - See FAQ section

For those who are experiencing problems now after installation of the update and
who have Hewlett Packard's Share to Web Software, there are two registry patches
to choose from (run either one or the other) not both (NB both patches do the
same thing):

Ottmar Freudenberger's is available at:-
http://patch-info.de/WinXP/Downloads/KB908531_Share-To-Web.zip
(Note this is a Zip file and will need to be extracted. It contains a REG file
which needs to be imported into the registry)

and Kelly's patch is available at:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Line #383 - this is a vbs file and instructions on how to use such files are at
the top of the page.

If you hare not using "Share to Web Software" then consider the following:

Are you using a Nvidia video card? Check for updated drivers.

Do you have Kerio Personal Firewall, if so make sure you read the article
carefully: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/918165

Thanks for response; guess I'll wait for the fix 04/25 as no other problems
have surfaced & I can get around this issue.

Though I have downloaded all patches since my original post in April, I am
still unable to open IE 6 from the start menu or ie.exe. I can get to ie by
other means but this is a PITA. Any ideas?

take a look at the web browser they propose on mozilla.com, it will spare you much time in the future (concerning browser-related problems, of course)
