"These applications are trusted and display only the menus, icons, toolbars, and title information that the Web developer creates. In short, HTAs pack all the power of Microsoft Internet Explorer--its object model, performance, rendering power, protocol support, and channel-download technology--without enforcing the strict security model and user interface of the browser."

I recall my brother's girlfriend doing a search on "Mary Queen of Scots" and found a web page that hijacked her IE and changed the start page, etc. Whatever it was would keep changing the start page if it was changed by hand. My brother had to research it and delete files and part of the registry to remove the sucker. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
