I'm putting my two cents in, I usually don't do this, but the last few
replies in this string bother me. Why post to something with remarks/answers
similar to "if it bothers you, don't do it" or the best from a MS MVP
<Patient (demonstrating): "Doctor, it hurts when I do this!" Doctor: "Don't
do that." Don't do that.> That's insulting to the original poster (yes, I'm
assuming) and to myself. Anyway, there's my two cents, short of a nickel's
worth.
With the exception of VanguardLH: <"It's a bug and it's not. Because
Microsoft has so closely tied IE intoWindows, here is an example where a
shortcut key for IE "leaks out" for when it isn't appropriate in Windows
Explorer."> being the closes answer to the original question.
I respond to Andrei with, yes it must be a bug. As I've tried this on
different pc's with different IE's and I get a different results with OS's
with IE7 or less. Interesting find.
Cheers
