Subject: Re: Win 2000 & IE 'shell://' problem?

I did some brief testing with this today. I found that whatever version
of Win2K w/IE that I plopped down in front of wouldn't crash with just
opening shell:// or shell://localhost. The window would flicker a bit.
One poster had indicated that it was dependent on the number of windows
open. I opened several windows. Now it would flicker, and cycle between
windows. With about 8 or 9 IE windows open, it would do the protection
fault and crash.

Thanks everyone for reporting in with various version numbers, etc..
I'll be summarizing shortly, and posting to Bugtraq and MS.
