Easy Fix

[Dannie]

I see posted an "Easy Fix" for KB 908531. QUESTION. If I set a Restore Point
and then execute the Easy Fix (Kelly's) and I still or have a problem, will
going back to the Restore Point bring me back to the original problem? Then
I just have to delete KB908531 and my PC is back in shape before all these
problems.

Obviously I don't want to dig a hole that is too deep!

The quick fix is for those who have Hewlett Packard's Share to Web Software.

Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install security
update MS06-015

System restore can be used to set a restore point prior to using a quick fix.

If you uninstall the update see section titled "Workaround for Windows shell
vulnerability" under Vulnerability Details:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS06-015.mspx
Also you’ll need to check Automatic Updates and make sure that the update
isn’t automatically downloaded see: - Configure Automatic Updating in Windows
XP - 306525

will going back to the Restore Point bring me back to the original
Yes. Because System Restore rollback restores the registry setting as well.
