Hi! Do you only have a recent Disk Image, or do you have individual data file copies since the last image as well? This is the curse of having things backed up, you may just have to figure out a restoration process. I try to keep between 2 and 4 weeks of historical disk images, a weekly full file-by-file backup, and daily (remaining 5 days of the week) incremental file backups. I have had to do full image recoveries from the past, which is nice other than the fact I then have to piece together the latest data files for Outlook and other applications. It is nice to be able to do so, but any way a person slices it trying to do a full recovery in a live environment is always difficult. That said, it feels to me like that is what your best course of action would be, as I agree with your evaluation re: not knowing what exactly caused IE to start acting badly. It could be any number of causes.
I strongly suggest you back up any data files before restoring the image, and burn a new image just in case there is a problem with the older image file (I have had that happen in the past). Good Luck! And, for what it is worth, it could be far worse than it seems right now. You could have not had any images or backups to begin with (or thought you did only to find out the backups from the past never really worked).

As you say I could do a selective restore but I don't know where the problem lies! It is unlikely to be explorer.exe itself (although I could try restoring that) and may be an associated dll or a registry setting. I am reluctant to try anything other than a complete restore for fear of making matters worse <g>.
