If you're going to replace two newer DLLs with older versions, why
bother to run IE6 at all? You've certainly negated at least some of
security benefits that IE6 has over IE 5.5.

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?
