Disabling Active-X in IE
Diabling Active-X in IE causes Windows Update to work improperly. Does anyone know if it interferes with automatic downloads of Windows Updates?

I use Firefox most of the time. But some of my MS programs won't function properly unless IE is set as my default browser. No problem. I leave it set as my default and when I launch Firefox it wants to know if I want to set Firefox as my default. I click No and go on surfing with Firefox. It's aggravating. But if you do any banking or order products on the Internet, it seems like using Firefox to do it is the safest way until MS fixes the security hole in IE.
