Uh... And what, exactly, would/should a [Web] browser BE, if not "web-enabled"?!? IE 4 is when they started the whole "web is the pc is the web" thing Yeah, and that's when Internet Explorer became commingled with plain Explorer. (In your mind too, apparently.) But just plain Explorer -- which is what you SAID in the post that started this sub-thread -- had taken over from the old Windows 3.x File Manager as the (default), uh, file manager (and main graphical shell) for Windows with the introduction of Windows 95. Which was before the introduction of Internet Explorer. [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R. Conrad] (I live in Finland, and my e-mail in-box is at the Saunalahti company.) Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575\|Ashton Brown]
