Problem with "My Pictures" Folder

This was an intermittent problem that has now become continuous.

"My Pictures" folder (which is on my Drive D) is set up with the web-style
java-based lower left side preview pane of whatever picture file is
currently highlighted. (This preview allows the picture to be previewed and
even rotated.)

When this problem occurs, the preview is blacked out, with the little red X
in its corner, and an error message comes up:
.................................................. ...........................
.................................................. ......
An Error has occurred in the script on this page.

Line: 264 (or, 301)
Char: 13
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Code: 0
URL: file://C:\Windows\Web\imgview.htt

Do you wish to continue running scripts? Yes No
.................................................. ...........................
.................................................. .........

Any action that changes which picture file is highlighted causes this error
message to pop up. Clicking 'Yes' or Clicking 'No' makes the message leave,
but any new action in the folder makes it reappear, regardless of which
answer was clicked. It renders file management work within the folder
virtually impossible.

How to fix??

Thanks for anything,

David

David,

This looks very much as if you have used TweakUI to alter the order of the
icons on the desktop and have set My Computer to be the first icon rather
than My Documents. If so switch them back.

See MS KB275557 - "Internet Explorer Script Error Message When You Open
the My Pictures Folder" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=275557).
