Positively confirmed on 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633 when entering
C:\aux in
the Address Bar.

Seeing as the behavior of this scenario is inconsistent between list
subscribers
with the same IE version, one could believe the bug is not in IE but in
urlmon
or shellexecute somewhere.

Hi,
I found a bug in IE6 ón Windows XP with all Service Packs and Patches
installed:
If you enter C:\aux in the adressline of the IE (not EXPLORER,
InternetExplorer)
and hit enter, the window will freeze. This bug is simmilar to
C:\con\con
but not as dagerous. But its the same reason, naimly that windows trys
to
open aux, a hardware device in earlier windows versions.
I already sended an email to Microsoft but they said the bug wouldn't
exist.

Bye
