Firstly, your first post and subsequent post were useless since you didn't read the previous posts before asking an already answered question.
Secondly, I did answer your question, just wasn't the answer you were looking for.
Thirdly, since you are obviously incapable of doing a little research before asking questions I'll actually help you out.
Finally, your welcome for my trouble. Good day sir or maam.

Ok, since that question hasn't been asked in a while, I'll give ya the long answer.
So, in a ROM long long time ago..., I introduced my MH Updater App (that has been out of the last 2 updates due to me doing upgrades that I have been lazy/trying to get right, but will be in the next update). I wrote that app in VB 08'. Unfortunately there are some limitations to the webbrowser control in VB 08' thanks to MS not updating the control appropriately. Even in the 6.5 and 6.5.3 SDK/DTK's the browser is still not correct. This is because they are still wrapping that control with the old webview.dll from PIE from WM 6.1. WM 6.5 and 6.5.x use the shdocvw.dll for the newer IE6on6, as PIE is no longer used in WM and was replaced with IE6on6 for 6.5 and 6.5.x. Why oh why MS won't update the webbrowser control to be wrapped with the shdocvw.dll I will never know... So because the webbrowser control still looks for that webview.dll any app that you write in VB that uses a webbrowser control will absolutely not work right if at all on 6.5 and 6.5.x. So... where does that leave me? Well, since my programming knowledge obviously isn't extensive enough to rewrap the webbrowser control with the shdocvw.dll, I was left hax0ring in the old PIE to get the webbrowser control to function properly, because if I use PIE, it uses the webview.dll, and everything functions accordingly. So I mod every SYS to use PIE instead of IE6on6. And since PIE looks quite stoic compared to the newer versions, I left the link out (IE is still there just no link on the start menu). Only a couple people have complained since Opera and Skyfire (which skyfire IMO is better than both of them because it is as close to a true desktop browser experience as you'll find (flash support)). You can always link it back to the startmenu with a reg edit, or if everyone wants it back, I can relink it, but there is no need to cab install it. Also if there are any VB programming wizards out there that know how to get the webbrowser control to use shdocvw.dll instead of webview.dll feel free to let me know and we can go over code, otherwise it's old PIE to the rescue. Hope that answers that question.
