I can not duplicate this either, and did not get any prompts, just a default page stating "The page cannot be displayed". I am Internet Explorer 6 (6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633).

If I try to save the file to disk it says "aux This filename is a reserved device name please choose another name". I tryed searching for what to open the file with on the ms extension search thing and also came up with nothing odd... What *exact* version of IE do you use? -KF [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Hi, >I found a bug in IE6 �n 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.
