The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 for Windows 95
 * Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 for Windows NT 4.0

SYMPTOMS
If you create a toolbar that displays the contents of the Recycle Bin, right-click a zero-byte object displayed on the toolbar, and then use the right mouse button to drag the object over the title of another toolbar, you may receive the following error message:

Internet Explorer caused a General Protection Fault in module Shell32.dll

RESOLUTION
To prevent this problem from occurring, do not use the right mouse button to drag zero-byte objects from a toolbar that displays the contents of the Recycle Bin over the title of another toolbar.

For example, drag zero-byte objects from the Recycle Bin in My Computer or Windows Explorer instead of from a toolbar. Note that you can also restore objects from the Recycle Bin by right-clicking the object, and then clicking Restore on the menu that appears.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
