IE's defaults allow it to happen
The default settings of even IE 6 w/sp1 (which Joe Average doesn't have a clue about) set the users up for failure. Those being:
-Install on Demand (Internet Explorer)
-Install on Demand (other)
-Enable third party browser extensions
I've seen systems rendered useless with these settings being the root cause.
Between that browser being bolted to the OS, and "Joe Average" being clueless...why not leave these disabled by default?
