Default Internet Options, About Blank and MSN.

As I mentioned though 870669 is not offered on a clean Win Me in which case
you would still have some users not being offered the patch but then again
what's one patch here or there when twenty others also need to be installed.
As to whether it is IE5.5 0600 (the real RTM version not the 0100 included
with Win Me), SP1, SP2 or MDAC that triggers 870669 some experimenting
tomorrow will tell. :-)

Yes - but it's also involved in MDAC2.5-2.8
therefore if either are installed (and one or the other is bound to be
installed in ME, pretty much), then you're offered the update.
I suspect that it's MDAC that rules the magnanimity of MS in this
case, rather than IE. (otherwise they'd have some users protected,
and others not - and screaming blue murder)
