[WEB4LIB] Upgrading to MSIE 4

[Glen Davies]

Hi

Have a look at the IE administration kit if you haven't already. It 
is freely available from
http://ieak.microsoft.com/
You just have to register to use it and let Microsoft know how many 
copies of the customised browser you are going to release. 
The kit allows you to lock down a number of the settings, channel 
setups etc.

Regards
Glen

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