No, the patch specifically states that it's for IE 5.01 (on Windows 2000 SP4).

Thanks (as always) for your reponse APK,
The reson I don't use versions of IE beyond 5.01 is because the features MS added to 5.5 and 6.0 I do not need. I keep a stable unbloated system (as far as is possible) by only installing updates that actually fix problems I'm experiencing or include features that I would use on a regular basis.
I see that Opera has a beta available for 7.60, I'll wait for the 'finished' version I think. Much as I like Firefox, Opera tends to render pages faster and has a shed load of features built-in that you need to find plugins for with Mozilla based stuff (Opera's less resource hungry too I find).
I think I will have to do what you suggest and manually extract the files (I have had to resort to this trick on more than one occasion with a 'stubborn' hotfix!) However the patch includes updates to the registry which block numerous dodgy activex controls. I could always merge those manually I suppose *sigh*, but since I only have activex enabled for my trusted sites (very trusted!) then I don't think I need to bother, as I have IE set up to prompt me before attempting install anything!
