Since KB2898785 IE6 doesn't load locally-sourced CSS for a page delivered remotely--how to correct?

Question

First of all, I wish the CSS and images could come over the wire, but network performance is slow and these are kiosks. The images and CSS live on the hard drive, while the page content comes over the wire.

Prior to KB2898785, we made it work by allowing cross-domain and local active content in IE6 (don't ask why IE6--it just is), and now we can't seem to get the CSS to load at all. I've run out of ideas on how to address this, and the customer isn't happy with bringing the visuals in off the wire.

Can anyone think of a workaround?

Answer 1

Install some kind of webserver on the local machine and have it serve the CSS?
