    Added : 
    
    It also seems to crash explorer.exe when the .html file containing the
    code is copied into any folder !!
    It may work since windows is trying to create a view in Windows
    explorer. Indeed, it doesn't work when the file is copied in the
    desktop.
    
    Tested on Windows XP with Office XP.
