Windows 98se. After installing ie6sp1, everytime you try
to open a local document, you get a pop up "Are you sure
you want to open a file from this location?" If you open
windows explorer and browse any of my computer, it shows
as a restricted site. Reseting defaults has not helped.
Any suggestions?

I understand the problem to be: Since updating 822925, unable to run ActiveX
on trust pages. If I have misunderstood your concern, please don't hesitate
to let me know.

To solve the problem, you can try the following steps:

1. Boot the computer with the startup disk and choose "Start computer
without CD-ROM support".

NOTE: Create a Startup Disk if you do not have it. Please follow these steps
to get it:

a. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

b. In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.

c. In the Add/Remove Programs Properties dialog box, click the Startup Disk
tab.

d. Click Create Disk to create the Startup disk.

e. When you are prompted, insert a formatted floppy disk into the floppy
disk drive, and then click OK to confirm that the contents of the floppy
disk will be overwritten.

2. Type the following commands.

c:

cd\windows

attrib -h -s system.dat

attrib -h -s user.dat

copy system.dat system.pss

copy user.dat user.pss

attrib +h system.dat

attrib +h user.dat

NOTE: I assume you installed Windows in C:\Windows. If this is not the case,
please change the path accordingly.

3. Type the following commands.

c:

cd \windows\command

scanreg /fix

4. Restart the computer to see if the problem still exists.

If it does, continue with following steps:

1. Boot the computer with the startup disk and choose "Start computer
without CD-ROM support".

2. Type the following command:

c:

cd\windows\command

scanreg /restore

Choose a .cab file dated before the time when this issue occurred and choose
"Restore". Please use one which is as recent as possible since all registry
modification made during this period will be lost after you switch to the
registry backed up before.

3. Restart the computer and check again. If this registry has the same
problem, please boot the computer with the startup disk and repeat step 2.
Choose a registry that has already been backed up. Boot and check again.

NOTE: Please feel free to try them because we have backed up the current
registry. If we find the original registry has too many lost things to be
accepted, we may use the following steps to switch back to the current
registry:

Boot the computer with the startup disk, type the following commands.

c:

cd\windows

attrib -h system.dat

attrib -h user.dat

ren system.dat system.bad

ren user.dat user.bad

copy system.pss system.dat

copy user.pss user.dat

attrib +h system.dat

attrib +h user.dat

If you have any questions or concerns related to this issue, please let me
know. I truly appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.

Quit blaming Q822925 for everything. It has not caused a problem on any
machine I have installed it on.

Of course I always turned off the anti-virus program before installing.

Frank,

Some who have non-standard History or Cookies or TIF apparently
have had a problem getting all the right .dll's until they changed
those folders back to their standard locations. See recent thread
by HiMan for example which concluded that way.

The OP used X-No-Archive: yes so the thread is most easily found
using OE Find with the first half of that Subject: going back to
2003-08-25.

BTW I first became aware of the issue from somebody who had to stop
putting his History and Cookies in a RAM disk. I believe that the same
person participated in the thread I just I just referred you to.
