Upgrading to MSIE 4

We've been using Internet Explorer 3.02 for a year now, and I'm experimenting
with IE 4.01 (Win NT 4.0/SP3).  I have a few questions:

* Is there a way to display the entire URL when the cursor is over a link?  I
have "Friendly URLs" set off as I did in 3.02, but in 3.02 there was more space
at the lower left corner to show it.  In 4.01, I only get a couple of inches.

I found a Registry setting for Show_FullURL, but it doesn't appear to have any
effect.

* Are there any new security holes in terms of what users can get into when
they use IE?  I had 3.02 sealed off with NTFS permissions, but 4.01 looks more
challenging.

* Any general warnings about making the switch from version 3 to 4?

Thanks in advance.
