Does an HTML IMG tag like <img src=c:\aux> also cause a crash?  This
kind of tag can be embedded in an HTML email message.  If the bug shows
up also in an IMG tag, then an Email reader like Outlook or Outlook
Express can be DoSed.  Ditto for Hotmail and Yahoo mail.

I am running US version of  XP corporate with the latest service packs
and
updates with IE 6.0.2800  and the c:\aux crashes that specific browser
window along with clicking a click to href=c:\aux

Tested and confirmed on Inter Explorer Version:
6.0.2600..0000.xpclient.010817-1148

Window locks and can be closed with Ctrl +Alt+ Delete or by clicking
the
x in the top right corner ...   followed by an "end now" or "cancel"
prompt.

So far the couple of people who CAN reproduce it are coming from a .dk
and
.de domain.  I use the US English version of XP.  If anyone else
chimes in
on whether they can reproduce or not, could you please report what
language
version of XP and/or IE you use?

Has anyone tried it from a link in a page, or a refresh or anything?
