Or at least that's the way I would do it. Which means MSFT did something really daft with them and they are indeed 'live' somehow in the guts of the system still even when IE7 has been installed.

Eeek. So does this mean all IE6’s oh-so-not-wonderful security holes are in full effect even with an IE7 upgrade? Eeek.
