Hello all,
Today I got SP2 for WinXP pre-release via TechNet subscription. Tried it on
a few test-machines, and apparently
it seems to break the launching of .ICA-files via NFuse/WI by registering
the .ICA download as an "unsafe" download. 

As a result:
1./ IE presents the well-known dialog "Some files may harm your computer bla
bla. Do you want to [Open], [Save], [Cancel]".
2./ Clicking Open does not trigger the ICA client,not even after
re-registering via "wfica32.exe /setup"  (So breaks NFuse!!!)
3./ Saving & launching the file manually works, but that's an unacceptable
workaround.

This got me spooked that in a few weeks/months upon general release of SP2,
this will 
create havoc in our company, with PC's being pathed all the time...

I know it's a bit early, but anyone else noticed this behaviour already?
