Puts IE into a loop, that seems to spawn new threads all of the time.
The longer it stays, the slower the computer gets, until IE (or just
that window, not sure) is shut down. No real crashes though.

ftp://:    does nothing for me. (cannot find, make sure the address
is correct)

ftp://*//#./    Gives me the gopher effect.

It doesn't know those protocols on my comp.

Anyway, I think I have some idea of why the "shell:" acts like it
does. It spawns a window for each shell it gets an address to, with
';' as a separator?
