When you use Microsoft Internet Explorer as your user
interface as described in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 143164, or you
use Internet Explorer as a startup program in a Remote Desktop or Terminal
Services client environment, the following behaviors may occur:
| • | Mapped network drives do not update correctly when you use
the following command: Iexplore.exe -e |
| • | A new window opens when you locate a target window or when
you submit a form in Internet Explorer. |

This behavior occurs because some features that Internet
Explorer uses only function when Windows Explorer (Explorer.exe) is
running.

To work around this behavior, do not replace Windows
Explorer with Internet Explorer as your Windows user interface. Instead, run
Internet Explorer as a startup program in Windows Explorer, and then use Group
Policy or Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) to limit access to
Windows Explorer.

Administration Kit (IEAK), visit the following Microsoft Internet Explorer Web
