Hi,

I installed IE 4.0 unter NT 4.0 WS logged in as administrator. So far so
good. But I am not able to run IE 4.0 while logged as a simple user. At
least the desktop enhancement (AKA "Shell Integration") does not work as
expected. Here come the problems:
* In *My Computer* and *Control Panel* there is no *Web View*
* Neither of my folder views show a blue background
* The icons in the start menu are really trash (for instance, the
Shutdown entry has a MSDOS-icon)
* I am not able to create a new DUN connection using the ICW (I have an
ISDN card)
* My desktop icons disappear, sometimes the background (IE 4.0 welcome
message) does not redraw
* While I have open windows and click on the background they disappear

I was the first who bought NT. That was in 1993. That time I had an AMD
386/40 w/ 16 MB RAM and a 120 MB hard disc. To run NT I upgraded to a
i486/DX266, bought another 16MB (the prices that time, you remember!?),
bought a SCSI controller, a new hard drive, a CD-ROM. You see I loved
NT.
This time, running NT 4.0 WS and IE 4.0 w/ shell integration, I am
standing at the same edge. While running NT was quite bearable, running
the shell integration is not. Does a new operating system every two
years mean I have to buy a new computer every time?

Sorry for that off-topic,

The developer's preview release of IE 4.0 has not been fully optimized
by any means and I think you should notice a significant speed
increase in future betas and the final release. That having been
said, I don't think I'd want to run IE 4.0 with shell integration on
anything less than a Pentium.

i'm using ie4 on a 486dx4/100, and having no trouble (but i'm not using
winNT, and that may have something to do with it)
