I'm sure the website I saw said it was safe to keep the unofficial patch installed while I ran the official update.

I never lost use of thumbnails or the windows viewer. I assume that only happens with the manual registry edit, not the .exe file.

Well I'm glad MS have released the patch early anyway. It seems crazy having an official release day (Tuesdays) for updates when Mozilla etc release a patch as soon as they can. (Often within 24 hours.) Although I understand the need for much wider testing by MS.
