George supplied a workaround to allow you to use the troubleshooters and then
disable them again. This is a workaround for the latest update to IE that broke
them.

Fixing them by installing tshoot.inf only works if the original update that broke
them was installed, but not the later update. Once you install the second update
that breaks the troubleshooters, you must use the temporary
workaround.....right-clickinstall on tshoot.inf no longer fixes it of the second
update was installed. It is the later update that sets a kill bit, not the earlier
update.

My standard blurb on the problem:

There are two different fixes, depending on the Windows updates you have installed.

The original fix for the older update was this:
First, click Start Settings Folder Options View tab, and click to enable "Show
All Files" and click OK.
Click Start Find File or Folders, and search the C:\ drive for a file named
Tshoot.inf...it should be found in the \Windows\Inf folder.
Right-click Tshoot.inf and click Install on the menu that appears.

If the latest cumulative patch for Internet Explorer is installed, there is only a
workaround.

Hello group,
I have a new install of Windows and I have installed all critical updates,
therefore my TS's are not working as I would expect.

My question, I do have the fix that MS-MVP George (Bindar Dundat) has
created.
However, it does not restore the troubleshooters??

I know what will restore them... reinstalling them, via rt. clicking on the
Tshoot.inf file and having my OS CD ready.

I did the above action on a previous fresh install of Windows-98-se after
getting all critial updates.

This is the question;..... If I reinstall my T-shooters via rt. clicking
Tshoot.inf file, *am I not removing the kill-bit in the registry that is
suppose to be protecting me*??

Thanks for clarification.
