Hi all,

I'm having a strange issue where any scripted call to open Internet Explorer
tries to open IE6, even though I have IE8 installed. For example, with the
following script:

Dim ie
Set ie = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
ie.Visible=True
ie.Navigate "http://www.yahoo.com"

I'll see an IE6 browser open with a blank page...then an IE8 browser opens,
and navigates to Yahoo. Using IE8 manually works perfectly...however I also
have an issue where Start -> All Programs -> Windows Update also launches an
IE6 browser.

This is on XP SP3, fully up-to-date. I do believe there is something screwy
going on with my IE installation, but I haven't the slightest idea as to what
that might be. (I've uninstalled and re-installed IE8, tried IE7, no luck...)

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
