    From an Article in today's Boston Globe, and confirmed on MS's web 
    site:

    Fix to Potential Security Breach is
                   Hours Away 
                   Microsoft has been made aware of a potential security
                   breach in Internet Explorer 3.0/3.01 for Windows 95
                   and NT 4.0, and is moving quickly to resolve the
                   issue. By using Internet Explorer 3.x to access a Web
                   page hyperlink that points to a .LNK (a Windows
                   shortcut file) or .URL file, a program or executable on
                   a users PC could be launched. The creator of the link
                   would have to know the specific program installed
                   (name and path) on the users hard drive in order for
                   this technique to work.
