When I see these kind of bugs, I always wonder if there is some way to turn off the unneeded feature rather than getting a patch. Disabling the feature protects against the next security hole in the unneeded feature...... I also wonder if there is a some method of scanning the registry to learn about all the image file formats that IE supports in the <img> tag and similar tags. Last time I checked, the GIF and JPEG formats are all we need.
