[pchelpers] Re: News:Microsoft to Patch its Security Patch

Thanks Scott,
   
   
  I  just opened  from  My Documents what  is definitely  an  Office 97 26 KB 
MS  Word  document. As  for my printer it is out of ink  again  Until  I  get 
my next pay check  anything  important  can be uploaded to yahoo and  printed  
out at  my office.  But  I do not think I am having the problems  described  by 
Microsoft  in the link  that you sent.

It's not necessary; just follow the directions here, either making the
change to the registry, or uninstalling Share-to-Web (no reason to
have it if you don't use it), or both.

In any event, Microsoft does not charge for support related to
security patches, it seems.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
