thecow, i noticed exactly the same issues with Explorer 6 (and 5.5 too) that you noticed, plus another annoying one: when clicking on links the pointer doesn't become the typical "working in background" hourglass. this, plus the semitransparent windows until fully loaded, and being unable to resize and/or move toolbars in full screen mode (F11). that's why i also use, like you, IE 5.01 SP2. IE 6 was fast though, but because of these issues i went back to good old reliable 5.01 SP2.

WARNING, IE 6.0 can mess up your network settings! FWIW, I also installed the IE 6.0, liked the speed it browsed the WEB, but couldn't get my network working which was fine, prior installation. After several tries of reinstalling the NETBUI, without success I decided to revert to IE 5.5. All is well, I thought, network back to normal, but now Outlook 2000 wont work. Tried to repair, reinstall, remove MSOffice 2000, reinstall, no luck. Finally restoring the registry to a prior copy solved the problem. Anyone needing the network, better wait with installing IE 6.0 and be sure have a backup copy of the previous IE and a GOOD COPY of THE REGISTRY.
