Wallpaper -Reply

[Reeder Norm]

Just a comment on the use of IE 4.0.  One thing I've noticed and can't
seem to find a workaround is that all of the "helper" applications we
have used in the past, no longer work on IE 4.0.  Only four helper
applications are allowed (mail, news, chat, and phone).  We've used
W3Launch for launching CD-ROM's from web pages and previously used
OpenWeb for the same thing.  I assume that Microsoft believes everything
is going to be written in "active-X" but I haven't found any
equlivalents for what we need.  I happen to like IE 4.0 very much
otherwise both for the browser, and for the desktop integration which
some don't seem to like at all.
Thanks

The wallpaper setting now offers some intriguing possibilities with IE's
Active Desktop. Has anyone started developing an HTML document
specifically for use as wallpaper in a library setting? Perhaps a page
with ready reference links? Or search engine input boxes?
