i know that microsoft recently released a patch for ie6 to stop allowing a username and password to be in the url of a website. for example:
if the username was BOB and the password was TOM, then the url you would type to get to the password protected site of www.website.com would be:
http://BOB:[email protected]
if you have the patch installed and try to type that url, you will get an error saying "INVALID SYNTAX ERROR" unlike before when you would go straight to the website.
my question is: is there a way to remove that one patch? and what would happen if i uninstalled it then reinstalled? will all the patches from windows update be removed? i don't want to have to switch browsers because i like ie6.
thanks
