SYMPTOMS
When you try to use a custom Setup of Internet Explorer created with the Microsoft Internet Explorer Administration Kit and you are using a profile to remove the Source command from the View menu, a user may still be able to view the Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) source code. This is a potential security breach as it allows users to load other files on the local computer.



RESOLUTION
A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to computers experiencing this specific problem. If you are not severely affected by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next version of Internet Explorer.
