IE General newsgroup was removed from the MS newsserver in early July; cf.
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/default.mspx

While it's still accessible via some non-MS newsservers (and Google
Groups*), there's not much relevant traffic now.

You will find support for Internet Explorer in this MS forum now:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/threads

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; WinXP 64-bit SP2;
Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64-bit) as well as your current IE
version (e.g., IE6, IE7, IE8) in your first post.

You need to use the web site only long enough to register. Then forget
about it and use your Usenet client. No more cookies.
