double slash moves cache from INTERNET zone to MYCOMPUTER zone

("that's all" is the end of file if you are in a hurry)

[tested]

OS:WinXp

Microsoft Internet Explorer v6.Sp1; up-to-date on 2003/10/30

[technical detail]

copy an EXE file to your cache directory:

[SysDrive]:\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\EXE.EXE

then try to use CODEBASE trick to execute that file (refer to http://continue.to/trie --> "codebase local path"), you'll get an error message.

however set CODEBASE to:

[SysDrive]:\\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\EXE.EXE

(double slash after [SysDrive])

EXE.EXE in cache directory will be executed.

conclusion:

[SysDrive]:\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5is treated in INTERNET zone.

but

[SysDrive]:\\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5is treated in MYCOMPUTER zone.

that's all.

of course, it's added to "Unpatched IE Bugs" list maintained by me. here: http://continue.to/trie
