Could I have discovered yet another MSIE bug?
Perhaps this has been debated endlessly and I just missed the thread: if so, my apologies.
But...
Have you ever noticed that when MSIE (I have 6.0, coupled with XP) loads up a new window (especially with pop ups) the thing down at the task bar for the new IE window sez "Micorsoft Internet Explorer" while the pop up page is loading?
You'd think MS would notice something like that.

The bug is the misspelling of "Microsoft."

Intentionally misspell your own name? It corrects itself when the page loads up, btw.

It makes sense to me. In Portuguese, "mico" is anything that is lousy, cheesy or downright embarassing.

Someone can help me, too.
BTLINK.dll
WTF is this?
I've started getting messages in secondary Windows, that says IE has caused an error with this and will now shut down.
Anyone?

Best check this out closer. Thanks.

I just noticed that it appears in the little yellow box that appears if you leave your cursor over an icon. So it appears twice, though in the picture below, MS managed to spell its name correctly the second time they had a go at it.

I think it might be the shortcut on your computer that is misspelt.

Okay, this is the last time I'll say this...
Dump IE and get Opera. ActiveX, my ***

Meaning?
This happens at a lot of sites, so it could be a particular ad/ad agency.

Well, and I'm just trying to share space John , this bites.
I went to the link. Jacked with the registry. Ran SpyBot.
Still flagged here.
Hueij, I may have to go with your suggestion.

I really don't understand why everybody keeps insisting on using IE and keeps putting up with this crap...

I deleted from registry, and now not being flagged.
I had Opera at one time. Traded in crap crashing HD.
With this slowass connection, I'm not big on downloading stuff.
MP3's are bad enough.
Now fix John up.

Problem is not with my computer as I've seen it happen on more than one machine (a few of them not my own).

It's not the shortcut, shortcut names will only appear on the desktop and quick launchbar.
Funny bug though
