Uninstalling the Vault Client breaks Internet Explorer

[mskrobul]

Symptoms – After uninstalling the Vault Client, Internet Explorer will not print a web page, search (Ctrl + F) a web page, or open documents in a new window. If you re-install the Vault Client this behavior in IE goes away.

This issue seems to affect IE 6.0.2.XXX users.

To ensure that uninstalling the Vault Client does not break IE, make sure IE is up to date before uninstalling the Vault Client.

If you have already uninstalled the Vault Client and are seeing this behavior, or IE is up to date and you are seeing this behavior, please see the following Microsoft KB article for steps to resolve the problem.
