You shouldn't be using that piece of junk online anyway.
In April 2004, the US Government's computer security
experts
said STOP USING INTERNET EXPLORER.
They **repeated** it in June 2004
(when there was a IE-specific infection big enough to make the evening news):

NONE of those security holes has been patched since the advisory was issued.
You should gave IE blocked in your software firewall.
It should NEVER be allowed online.
(In addition, because of its INFAMOUS lack of compliance with HTML standards,
many sites have stopped supporting IE6.)

Get yourself a copy of Firefox, SeaMonkey, Opera, etc.
(*anything* EXCEPT Internet Exploder) and use **that** instead.
You *will* need Internet Exploder for *some* POORLY-CONSTRUCTED apps
whose developers weren't bright enough to allow the _default_ browser to be used
(e.g. the Windoze Help System).
The IE repair procedure is outlined here:
