Subject: What about M$ in the shell: race

<!-- 

Every bit of real testing I've seen shows this is not a real 
vulnerability in IE.

surely you jest.

It is the Key to the Kingdom. To quote the original finder, way 
back in June of 2003:

"allows remote attacker to traverse "Shell Folders" directories. 
A remote attacker is able to gain access to the path of the %
USERPROFILE% folder without guessing a target user name by this 
vulnerability."

shell:desktop

"C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Desktop"

Perhaps you missed these "real" tests:

or maybe you didn't.
