Wayward Windows patch patched

MicrosoftI was sure we wouldn't see a fix for this one until May's Patch Tuesday, but Microsoft has announced that the fix for the troublesome patch released two weeks ago will be available tomorrow, April 25, halfway through its usual patch cycle. Microsoft also has a knowledgebase article on the issue which basically says "it's the fault of this old third party software" and gives a few registry tweaks if for some reason you can't wait for the patch. Plus one point for fixing it out of cycle, Microsoft. Minus two for releasing a broken patch in the first place.
