Now, the wierd thing is this. I've managed to make this happen a few times,
but it seems slightly random. Wonder if anyone else can reproduce this:

1. type shell://: hit return. Normal extra window appears
2. type shell://:; hit return. TWO extra windows appear
3. type shell://:;; hit return. 2 or 3 extra windows appear
4. type shell://: hit return. Explorer comes back with an exception error:

The Exception unknown software exception (0xc00000fd) occurred in the
application at location 0x76c82587

"shell://:;" crashed both ie and explorer.exe on one machine.
It didn't work on two other with SP2, so I guess SP2 will fix it.

However, "gopher://:"; still makes them crash ie.
