["Simon Lorentsen" <s.lorentsen () box-smart net>]

Worked here - UK Version

I can NOT duplicate this on IE 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2-030422-1633.... it 
simply asks me to open or save the file... if I choose open with notepad

for example ... nothing odd happens... notepad says function not found. 
If I try to save the file to disk it says "aux This filename is a 
reserved device name please choose another name". I tryed searching for 
what to open the file with on the ms extension search thing and also 
came up with nothing odd...

What *exact* version of IE do you use?

A coworker reproduced it under English XP. However, it's a pretty much
fresh install of XP. The IE build IE 6.0.2600.0000.xpclient.010817-1148.

Maybe it was fixed in a hotfix that hasn't been translated yet.
