I did some brief testing with this today. I found that whatever version of Win2K w/IE that I plopped down in front of wouldn't crash with just opening shell:// or shell://localhost. The window would flicker a bit. One poster had indicated that it was dependent on the number of windows open. I opened several windows. Now it would flicker, and cycle between windows. With about 8 or 9 IE windows open, it would do the protection fault and crash. Thanks everyone for reporting in with various version numbers, etc.. I'll be summarizing shortly, and posting to Bugtraq and MS. BB
