RE: [Full-Disclosure] Internet explorer 6 on windows XP allows exection of arbitrary code

Do you have any suggestions of feature(s) that can be turned off in
Windows, Outlook, or Internet Explorer that will prevent this exploit
for working?  I'm mostly interested in some feature that wouldn't
typically be used on a Web page.   It's also not necessary for there to
be a UI to turn a feature on or off.  A hidden registry setting is fine.

Also, Internet Explorer has an option for turning off sounds in Web
pages.  If sounds are turned off in IE, will this exploit still work?

Thanks,
Richard

when viewing mail in recent versions of outlook it operates in the

Trivial inline url flip in the restricted zone. WMP 8 and under. 
Unpatched since May 2003 should do the trick:
