New Update PROBLEM!!

[Susan]

I have been running the following code from a form in
Access 2000 to update a file on our website for a year
now. Yesterday I downloaded and installed the new
Security Update for IE6 SP1 (KB824145) and today my code
doesn't work anymore...I get an "Error Page cannot be
found" when IE opens. It still works fine from machines
that I have not yet installed this update. My question
is can I "UNINSTALL" this update somehow, or is there a
workaround to allow this code to continue to work??

Private Sub cmdSubmitRequestToWeb()
Dim strLinkPath As String
Dim strExtraInfo As String

strLinkPath
= "http://user:[email protected]/admin/scripts/newadduse
r.cgi"
strExtraInfo = Me!txtCgi

'MsgBox strLinkPath & strExtraInfo

Application.FollowHyperlink Address:=strLinkPath,
extrainfo:=strExtraInfo, NewWindow:=True
End Sub

Thanks for any help!

See

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=834489

The link also explains how to reset the behaviour back to the old method however I have not been able to get it to work (see my posting a few days ago titled "Disabling change from Update 832894 - nameassword in URL").

If you can figure out the registry settings please let me know!

The registry settings you need are as follows

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
Locate the following keys in the registry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main\FeatureControl]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWOR
D_DISABLE]

and add/modify the following data

"explorer.exe"=dword:00000000
"iexplore.exe"=dword:00000000

Make sure that you export any existing keys that you change before making
this change, or at least ensure you can roll back either by a Restore point
or a SCANREG/RESTORE.

Hope this helps,
Martin

Martin,

We don't know what the application name that Michael or Susan have
their "web browser control" in. I somehow doubt it is either of these.
If not, they may need to create the appropriate value name and assign
it that value of zero.

See the sentence in KB834489 which says:
<quote>
To use this new behavior in other programs that host the Web browser
control, create a DWORD value named <VAR>SampleApp</VAR>.exe,
where <VAR>SampleApp</VAR>.exe is the name of the executable file
that runs the program.
</quote>

The assumption made for doing that would be that something
wasn't working quite right for the claim which began that paragraph:
<quote>
By default, this new default behavior for handling user information in HTTP
or HTTPS URLs applies only to Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer.
