1. I've seen that on one of my machines [remind me to call PSS and figure out what's up, I suspect a reg key], but all others have not done that.

2.  Driver issue  [file that under stuff happens]

3. Yeah, some of the web site authors have obviously not read the SP2 memo..... I have to add to the trusted sites all banking sites, a couple of travel sites, etc and this is why I've added to my computers that have sp2 a shortcut bar to adding sites to the trusted site zone.

and yes, this works on IE6, sp2

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/pwrtwks.mspx

This little IE addition adds a quick shortcut under “Tools” for “add to trusted sites”. I did this to a couple of people at the office and here at home and showed them all they have to do when they get to a web site that they really “need” to have working [like a business site] they can add the site to the trusted zone and hit “refresh” and voila.

I think it would be worth noting that I deployed XP SP2 on a single computer.

Things I have ran into.
-No ability to bypass the uninstall process [or its a command line switch] 
Uninstall directory was 500+ MB (i think)

-i had a command prompt window open and i got a message saying trouble backing 
up the atapi.sys file. [oh well]

-When i go to http://www.bestbuy.com to look for bluetooth mice I get an error 
regarding cookies, and i had to either lower my security, or just give 
permission to accept cookies from the one site.  So for any of you people that 
are heavily involved in webcommerce, etc.  You might want to look at the read 
me's, or some GPO settings to help reduce the impact of this to your 
environment.

Good Luck.
Michael

p.s. att is my ISP - I don't work there.
