This is from mark's link (speeding up win98): If you're running Windows 98 or running IE4 under Windows 95, you may notice that sometimes IE can bring your whole system down if it crashes. This may occur because, if you installed the Windows Desktop Update (meaning that IE replaced your Windows shell with itself), then Windows Explorer is running in the same process as IE. If IE goes, so does your system. To prevent this occurrence, you need to run IE in a separate process from Windows Explorer. Microsoft warns that this might decrease general performance, but your browser shouldn't crash your system as often, so we think this is a good trade-off. Go into Internet Options (on the View menu in IE4 and under the Tools menu in IE5) and click on the Advanced tab. Scroll down the Browsing section. Select Browse in a New Process by clicking on the checkbox. Then click OK, close IE4, and restart it. Don't know if this would make a difference for slow computers (old P machines). I've always had that box checked (not really knowing what it meant).
