While this move may not bring a smile to Netscape investors, it is a very welcome addition to the operating system. Internet Explorer v4.0 is simply put the best web browser on the planet. It automatically guesses where you want to go from your recent history, and will complete your URL for you. If this is not where you want to go simply continue typing. This is a worthwhile enhancement which in effect converts your desktop a web page.
Items become easily accessible with a single click.
It also allows you to put shortcuts to your favorite sites or channels onto your desktop. Another welcome addition to this upgrade is the new Start Menu. You may now edit the location of items in your start menu by simply dragging them, the way you would in Windows Explorer. If you want to remove an item from your start menu, simply right click on the item and hit delete. This was my personal favorite feature of the IE4.0 upgrade.
