Windows seems to set internet explorer only during a new installation or upgrade of internet explorer, so I put it in wine.inf, which seemed appropriate.

This breaks installation of real IE. Setting version to IE 5.5 would give the users a chance to install at least version 6.0.
BTW, you should fix the typo in the third line.

The program I put this in for was msn messenger 7.0, which requires ie 6.0 to work. With this msn works fine, but this brings up a bigger question.
Should we require that people install Internet Explorer or should we put in patches that increase application compatibility with vanilla wine?
Personally I favor to put this patch in, and let people that want to install native internet explorer to change these strings through registry modifying. I feel that we shouldn't need to rely on something that needs a windows license in order for programs to work under wine.
