Xteq Document #17 - Opening a folder in Windows opens SHDOCVW.DLL.

After using X-Setup on a Windows NT 4.0 SP4/IE 4.01 system, launching folders results a message box saying that "SHDOCVW.DLL can't be opened" or a Notepad window displaying the file SHDOCVW.DLL.

This behavior only occurs on Windows NT 4.0 Systems with installed Service Pack 4 and Internet Explorer 4.01 SP1. It seems that SP4 changes the meaning of a value inside the registry that X-Setup changes.

To fix this bug, select

• System -> Explorer -> Windows Explorer Options

inside X-Setup, deactivate the option

• Run Windows Explorer as separate process

and reboot.
