Wonder if anyone else has experienced a hang in windows explorer after
installing the latest patches from Microsoft? I have installed the latest
bundle consisting of 5 patches and have immediately experienced hangs in
windows explorer when exiting a directory and returning to desktop. This has
also impacted several other applications upon exit. Is Microsoft aware of
this problem? I have recovered from prior backups several times to correct
the problem - is there a fix on the way?
 
Yes, many others have had troubles as you can see in the newsgroups.
Yes, there is a fix on the way.
Here is a little information:

Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install
security update MS06-015 (15 Apr-06)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/918165

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-015
Vulnerability in Windows Explorer Could Allow Remote Code Execution
(908531)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-015.mspx has
been revised to v1.2 to reflect the issues in KB918165.
From the FAQ section:
"On Tuesday, April 25, Microsoft will issue a targeted re-release of
the MS06-015 update."


Now may not be the time to learn Regedit.
I suggest you use a .reg file already done for the purpose.

http://patch-info.de/WinXP/Downloads/KB908531_Share-To-Web.zip

Unzip it, extract the .reg file to a folder, right-click it and select
Merge and confirm when asked.
