Internet Explorer 6 has a bug that will lock up the browser if C:\aux is entered. It is similar to the C:\con\con problem where it is trying to access a hardware device. Microsoft claims this bug does not exist.
c943ab7331e279cda3e4a0ab88bd027093b18ebd6e03f5545fc94ff1f60f415bHi,
I found a bug in IE6 ón Windows XP with all Service Packs and Patches installed:
If you enter C:\aux in the adressline of the IE (not EXPLORER, InternetExplorer)
and hit enter, the window will freeze. This bug is simmilar to C:\con\con
but not as dagerous. But its the same reason, naimly that windows trys to
open aux, a hardware device in earlier windows versions.
I already sended an email to Microsoft but they said the bug wouldn't exist.
Bye
