Hi, I have a computer running win98 SE and i just upgrade to IE6. The problem that i'm having is that it will not let me access the hard drive, i try to access C: and im getting a msgbox "Acess to the resource C: has been disallowed". But this computer is not connected to a network and i was able to access c: before i upgrade to IE6. I unistall IE6 and it works fine. So i was wondering if Microsoft decide to disable the viewing of c: from its browser. Or, is there any way that it can be change from the Registry. Thanks

IE6 has many underground bugs, difficult to fix sometimes unfixable and the only way to cure it is to reformat. If your computer now is ok without IE6, then don't go back, stick with IE 5.5 or Netscape 7.0. But if your computer starts to act strangegradually then you still have have the IE 6 aftershock,you need to reformat.

You can access the c: from IE 6.0 SP1.

There were many bugs in the original IE 6.0 ; install SP1 and you should be able to browse c: fine. It works fine on my IE 6 SP1 (Win2000) box.
