If you're going to replace two newer DLLs with older versions, why

Because I *have* it installed now, and it would be a pain in the ass to try
to get back to IE 5.5 at this point. The only reason I'm here on IE 6 in
the first place is because of some of those damn WU updates messin with my
system! I'm thru with them now. Period.

Perhaps you recall that old chinese proverb? Let me modify it - for my
case:
" fool me once, shame on you! "
" fool me twice, shame on you! "
" fool me thrice, shame on ME! "

I'm done with WU. Fortunately I'm stuck with IE 6 SP1, which is pretty
secure in its own right. And I'm leaving it at that - period.

You've certainly negated at least some of
security benefits that IE6 has over IE 5.5.

If you want to be totally secure, I'd suggest you wait until we move into
the next world, as it ain't gonna happen down here. Or, if you prefer,
accept that "true security lies within"

End of sermon. :-)

Well, I did try this out, and yes, indeed, lo and behold, it hangs up the
system (in windows explorer) a bit when you try to either copy or delete
a
large number of files. (I tested it out on the Favorites folder
ecently - copy, and later delete that copy).

I've seen the fix proposed here, where those two IE 6 browse DLL files
are
swapped out with the older ones from IE 5.5, and was wondering if anyone
is
using that now.

From what I remember reading about this, you will lose the ability to
"repair" IE in Add/Remove, unless you put the original DLLs back, but
other
than that, what's the verdict here?

So - is anyone in here using IE 6 SP1 (and Win98E) with the two browse
DLL
files swapped out to the older IE 5.5 versions, and if so, how is it
working
out for you? Any problems?
