Some integration items I have noticed from using IE3 and now IE4. IE3 and maybe prior versions. Microsoft added some "widgets" to allow all developers to have access to coolbars etc. though an updated common control dll. 2 dlls were added to allow all developers to use simplified internet fucntions from either straight C/C++ (Win32) or via a COM interface. There may be others like the ability to type techstocks.com in the <start><run> menu and have it bring up your default web browser. Only reason I think that this might be an integration thing and not a file extension addition is that by the extension mapping this would be a .com file yet it recognized that this was an URL. IE4 More common control additions Extension of navigation stack to standard explorer windows (non internet viewing of local and intranet files/directories and such) so that you can do back and forward etc...This is really cool if you are hopping around network drives. The basic explorer window is now a real browser both of local and web data and the ability to view all explorer windows and the desktop as web pages. Extension of single click metaphor (if you want) to all of Windows. These are just ones I have found using the products or documented in the Internet SDK, Microsoft Systems Journal (MSJ). There are others but I think that these are enough to show how Microsoft integrated the browser and the OS/Shell. Again my $.02 Larry...
