When I try to open a file from Excel (as opposed to opening it through my
documents), Excel hangs. It also hangs when I tru to do a Save As... not sure
if this problem has already been posted - I can't find it if it is.

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918165 "Problems in Windows
Explorer or the Windows shell after you install security update
MS06-015".

If you aren't comfortable with editing the Windows registry
yourself, then go to
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll
down to Item No. 383 "Hewlett-Packard's Share-to-Web software -
Fix". Download and run the script to automatically modify your
registry as described in KB918165. You may need to temporarily
disable your antivirus program in order to run the script.

It is anticipated that Microsoft will release a revised version
of the MS06-015 update on Tuesday, April 25.

I also have this problem and many posting under WORD show others do to. I
think it might be a major issue.
