There should be a KB (knowledge base) web page associated with the fix. I would expect that to answer your question.

From the KB article:

Thank you everyone....I just went ahead and used the MS Undo Fix program.

Well i just installed the update and although it took a while to bring my desktop up (Had to do a ctrl+alt+del and start task manager), all seems fine and my shortcuts still work fine.

Lucky.

Thank you Microsoft!

I also installed the update for x64. The funny thinks is that they call the fix "Important" even though it's "Critical".
