IE4 certainly has devoted fans. It does break some ground toward integrating Internetting and Desktopping. In fact, that's the reason I gave it a tryout. But, then it also: 1. Updates some unknown (to me) files without asking permission. I suppose Microsoft feels it has the right to to this since they own the operating system. But, the result in my case was a corrupted registy I think, caused by some clash with my existing software and the updated files. I was able to re create the problem shortly after recovering from the first registry problem. Unfortunately, I had not planned on recreating it. 2. The uninstaller module in IE4 that I received was the worst uninstaller in my experience. Win95 would not load immediately after. I was lucky. Win95 also informed which files it needed to get going again and I luckily had them on a backup tape. If you check carefully in those information messages that abound in the Microsoft IE4 download site, you may now find a warning to that effect. It was there a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if that is a bug or intended, like a hornet trap: No way out once you are in.
