Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install security update MS06-015

Okay - another half hour of personal tech support for a family friend -- I find that his machine was done in by the latest Microsoft Security Patch. (thanks Google Groups)
Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install security update MS06-015


Now that I'm thinking about it - I'm surprised this stuff doesn't happen more often. I imagine this bug might be a large problem --- may affect anybody with MS Office and a variety of HP hardware (and the software HP installs)

I also cringe everytime I read a MS technote telling you to edit the registry --- why don't they include a REG file that makes these appropriate changes? Especially when you might be asking your friend to type these values while talking to him on the phone.

Here's a copy of the registry change for others --
