It is only one personal opinion but---the patch may well be a good one,was one of the first to get it,utilize it.However,what it does is completely block off all your photos,digital photos etc,so I re-registered the dll the next day.This patch,I suspect,is more for large corporations,large computer networks,work stations etc and not so much for home-users.I have found that rather than un-register this dll,taking advantage of Windows OneCare program offers quite a good protection from the WMF problem.My thanks for the opportunity to respond.
