Patch to a patch of a Microsoft patch needs patching
<|> snipped <|>as the Internet Explorer team admitted that a chronic problem that was supposed to have been cumulatively updated by last Patch Tuesday's round of updates, causes a new problem: Internet Explorer 6 will crash on systems running Windows XP Service Pack 2.
<|> snipped <|> Not just any component should be able to plug into the IE protocols, which is why filters are typically applied. Those filters are currently enrolled in the Windows System Registry, and this morning's workaround would effectively turn some of those filters off...which in the long run may not be a very good idea.
