OK, my memory sucks. And yesterday was just FULL of distractions so I'm
surprised I didn't screw up worse.
Though of course I always recommend IE6SP1. I see where you suggest some
more intricate form of updating, but since I've yet to run into any
problems, I'll stick with what I got. Besides, most of the time, I run the
SecUp Feb 2004 CD before anything else, and that includes IE6SP1.
