Unless I'm mistaken, the bug doesn't effect IE 3, which PIE is based on.

It was on a WM2003 device I saw it. WM2003 utilizes
Quote:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01;
Windows CE; PPC; 240x320)

although this bug only affects MSIE6. What I witnessed must have been a fluke then.

I had all three of these keys and took it a step further to find out WHICH program had put the keys in there. As it turns out the corresponding GUID (in the HKLM\CLASSES_ROOT key was "DAPIE.DownloadAcceleratorIE.1", aka "Download Accelerator Plus" which I'm sure many of us have installed. It's a fantastic utility but it appears that it, not Microsoft, is responsible for the problem, at least on my system.
I would imagine that other download accelerators which hook into IE to intercept clicked download links would also cause the problem. Just FYI.
Any extensible product like IE is going to have problems when a plug-in has a problem. Just yesterday I tried installing a plug-in to my Apache Tomcat server which brought the whole thing crashing down. Hardly Apache's fault, but I'm sure they get their fair share of blame from people over it. I guess if we want expandable products it's just part of the game...

I wish that solved the problem, but I don't have that on my system and I had the "ftp" key - and lots of broken graphic links. I'm using vanilla IE now, not MYIE2 or any other pseudo-browser.

Guess what? It's FTP Voyager that introduces that FTP registry key that causes the problems! :evil: I deleted the key, rebooted, and all the images were loading. I loaded FTP Voyager, then loaded IE, and once again my graphics were broken - and the registry key was back. Grr. Contacting FTP Voyager now...

I don't think they're releasing the fix. :| Note that the advisory refers to IE 5.5. This has been a known problem for quite some time... and worse, the "patch" only applies to IE 5.5.
