Other side effect of the new code in shdocvw.inf is that it causes the path in Internet Explorer shortcuts to be created incorrectly and invalidly making IE unable to launch from its link file.
I would suggest all that IE registration stuff go into our iexplore.exe instead of shdocvw.dll. Either that or we move the registration of shdocvw.dll into win2000 bottles only where IE does not install anyway. But to be correct to windows i feel like none of that extra registration code should be there.

Humm, maybe i am confused but (at least the win98 version of ) shdocvw.dll implements DllRegisterServer which seems to do a lot of stuff. But Setting the Start Page is not one of them. In my experience installing IE does not actually set a Start Page by default, but instead the browser seem to handle not having a Start Page by pulling up a default one.
I've checked it again and it looks like shdocvw registers only its typelib, nothing else like coclasses. I will do more testing later today.
