Internet Explorer 4: Internet Connection Wizard

Internet Connection Wizard that comes with older
versions of Windows 98. The Connection Wizard
will install and configure Microsoft's Internet Explorer
4.0 (IE4) for Web browsing and Outlook Express
for mail and news services. Your exact Wizard may vary
slightly from the one described here. All of the settings
are the same, however. You may be prompted for your
Windows 98 diskettes or CD ROM during the setup. Once

Web using IE4 and also compose e-mail and news
messages using Outlook Express.
