How do you know that IE chooses to use the DLL's in C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer rather than in C:\Windows\System?
Bill, I did try it one machine home in Slovakia, and it worked fine.
Question for PCR: How about just swapping ONE of those files... does that make any difference?
Question for everyone: Does Microsoft ever intent to fix this problem with IE 6 SP1? Does this affect only Windows 98, or also other operating systems?

Better than swapping them out... Move the IE6 versions
of Browselc.dll & Browseui.dll from "C:Windows\System\" to the folder
that contains IE6 (IEXPLORE.EXE), which is "C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\". Then, move the IE5.5 versions of those DLL's into
"C:Windows\System\".
That way, only Explorer uses the older .DLL's.
You lose "Lock Toolbars in Explorer. Also the IE Repair Tool will
fail, unless you switch the DLL's temporarily back. Naturally, you do
lose any MS critical patch that was applied to these DLL's, but in
Explorer only.
But I only know all of that from reading it, Colorado.

Thanks or Good Luck,

Naturally, you will not sue,
