MS security patch issue?
-
I just realized last night on my home machines (both Compaqs) that after this weeks round of security patches IE isn't working right. After installing the patches and rebooting IE no longer allows me to type web addresses into the address bar. I can type the address in but when I hit enter nothing happens. Anyone else having this issue? Odd behavior:~ Guess I'll have to use Firefox until MS fixes it:sigh: ------------------------------------- Do not do what has already been done. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.. but it ROCKS absolutely, too.
That's the only way to secure IE - disable the ability to go anyplace on the web via the address bar. ------- sig starts "Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

Apparently that's what they did. ------------------------------------- Do not do what has already been done. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.. but it ROCKS absolutely, too.

Why not use FF for ever? :-D

can you open a file by passing it a command line parameter, or com interop? If not it's still wide open.
I was being sarcastic. ------- sig starts "Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

Another permanent convert... ;P
Now taking suggestions for the next release of CPhog...
Actually since it's my home machine it'll kind of depend on whether my wife can get used to it or not:laugh: ------------------------------------- Do not do what has already been done. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.. but it ROCKS absolutely, too.

> That's the only way to secure IE - disable the ability to go anyplace on the web via the address bar. I'm not sure typing an address is the only way to reach "evil" sites. Starting at http://www.vatican.va/[^], I'm pretty sure someone could eventually end up on some pr0n site after following enough links... :-D Actually, someone should set up a competition to see how many clicks it takes to do just that :-D

A year or so ago, my IT-administrator-controlled work PC started shutting IE when you typed a web address in the address bar. After some experimentation, I discovered that if I typed
"http://www.somesite.com"instead of just"www.somesite.com", IE worked fine, i.e. it had something to do with domain identification. I reported it to IT, who could not solve the problem (they wanted to re-install XP, but I asked them not to), and 6 or 8 months later, the problem disappeared. Presumably some MS update fixed it. Maybe this will help you (if you can train your wife to type"http://"in the address bar.)
