Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows XP SP2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by using the Related Topics command in the Help ActiveX Control (hhctrl.ocx) to open a Help popup window containing the PCHealth tools.htm file in the local zone and injecting Javascript to be executed, as demonstrated using writehta.txt and the ADODB recordset, which saves a .HTA file to the local system, aka the HTML Help ActiveX control Cross Domain Vulnerability.
