I have the french version of IE 4.0. If I click "help", then "product
updates", IE40 takes me right to the... spanish page !

id est:
http://www.microsoft.com/ie_intl/es/ie40/
instead of:
http://www.microsoft.com/ie_intl/fr/ie40/

Since this might have something to do with the fact that the "extra
components" page doesn't always recognise already installed components, I
have tried to find where IE 4.0 stores that URL and couldn't find it. It
doesn't seem to be somewhere in the registry. Where is it?

I'm not if this will fix it but try it.
Go to View, Internet Option, and then choose Language. Then choose the one
you like.

This won't work. The setting you refer to concerns codepages, not languages.
Both french and spanish are usually "Western (ISO-8859-1)-encoded" (the same
applies to english, german, italian and any western european / american
language as well). Thank you anyway.

Well, I don't know why you refer code pages with the problem. I wanted you
to change the language setting because pages like
http://www.iechannelguide.com searches for specific language setted in your
browser option. If you put 'english' as first one but you're using 'french'
version of IE4, it will go to 'english' page instead of 'french' even though
you're using french IE4. I don't know IE4 Product Update page uses similar
method but I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work.

Yo, code pages has nothing to do with this matter, I think.
