Hello! I tried the patterns "shell:" , "shell://", and "shell:\\" on my _Windows 98 2nd edition_ together with internet explorer 5.00.2614.3500 (to be precise with version numbers, that is) and got some interesting result. First, nothing would happen, except a call to a curious DLL...the error message was like this: ---------quote error start Öffnen Sie die res://C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SHDOCLC.DLL/syntax.htm#shell:// Homepage, und suchen Sie dann nach Links zu den gewünschten Informationen. Falls Sie die Adresse der Seite manuell in der Adressleiste eingegeben haben, stellen Sie sicher, dass die Adresse keine Tippfehler enthält. --------- quote error end So we can see, a "curious" DLL is called, SHDOCLC.DLL . A few moments later, I wasnt able to ping any computer at all, always getting error code 10050. Duh. I rebooted, but can't always reproduce this effect. I'll keep to you up to date trying to 100% reproduce these results. See ya... Alex
