Address Bar NOT WORKING!!

A few days ago internet explorer stalled every time I tried to use the
address bar or the drop down menu. Today I spent several hours updating /
scanning for viruses and spyware/adware, to no avail.
Then I got your .regfile and unzipped it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! My address bar is working again.

I have been having the same difficulty all week! I've scanned, defragged,
virus-scanned - all to no avail. I came across a post ascribing the
difficulty to Windows Update KB908531, installed on 4/18/2006. I followed
the suggestion to remove it via the "add/remove" function, and like magic,
everything is back to normal. What a relief. It is a very simple fix - I
hope it continues to work! I detest having to spend loads of time on the
phone with tech support trying our every little trickin the book!

I suppose Microsoft will release a new update to correct the original update
!

Yes, a new update will be released as you can see in this response:


Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install
security update MS06-015 (15 Apr-06)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/918165

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-015
Vulnerability in Windows Explorer Could Allow Remote Code Execution
(908531)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-015.mspx has
been revised to v1.2 to reflect the issues in KB918165.
From the FAQ section:
"On Tuesday, April 25, Microsoft will issue a targeted re-release of
the MS06-015 update."


Now may not be the time to learn Regedit.
I suggest you use a .reg file already done for the purpose.

http://patch-info.de/WinXP/Downloads/KB908531_Share-To-Web.zip

Unzip it, extract the .reg file to a folder, right-click it and select
Merge and confirm when asked.

Alan,

I just did the Share_to_We.zip and it worked perfectly. IE address bar now
works and I am able to access the "Save As", "File Open" and "Insert Picture
(etc.)" commands in all my MSOffice programs.

THANK YOU!!!!! You have SAVED ME TODAY!
