I have been vexed with the same problem. My IE encoding defaults to western european, even with auto-select unchecked. This often changes the display font on drop down menus to a point where it is unreadable. I can select the proper encoding, but a refresh or new page defaults to an undesirable coding. My registry has the correct code page references and *.nls files. My IE font selection in options is the default. I ran AdAware and virus software. Nothing seems amiss. I am stumped. Could it be a bug.

Circumvent Windows XP SP2 security features using execCommand 'SaveAs' function!
Demonstration:
Notice that you don't receive any warning messages such as:
"File Download - Security Warning" or "Open File - Security Warning".
If "Hide file extensions for known file types" (Tools->Folder Options...->View) is enabled, (ie., 'funny joke.exe' appears as 'funny joke')
it's possible to trick a user into downloading a malicious executable file masquerading as an html document!
Windows XP SP2 normally prevents direct downloading. For example: calc.exe
Description:
When your browser cannot locate the URL that you entered in the address bar, you will receive a 404 error message
telling you that the file was not found.
This exploit utilizes a custom HTTP 404 error message (v.exe) and feeds that eventually to the execCommand Method.
User input is required because the method always prompts a "Save HTML Document" dialog.
1. Bypasses the "File Download - Security Warning".
Each time you click a download link, WinXP pops up a "File Download- Security Warning", making you aware that
Windows is downloading a program and asking for your permission to complete the download process.
2. Bypasses the "Open File - Security Warning".
Launching a downloaded executable that originates from an untrusted location (zone) such as the Internet also brings
up a "Open File - Security Warning" that asks for permission to install the file in case it's dangerous.
The execCommand Method:
Executes a command on the current document.
One of the many parameters of this method is the SaveAs Command which saves the current Web page to a local file.
The SaveAs Command has the following format:
document.execCommand('SaveAs','1','Name of the webpage.htm');
Platforms Tested:
* Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
* Microsoft Windows XP Professional (IIS V5.1)
* Internet Explorer Version: 6
* NOT tested on Windows 2003 Server.
