How do I get Active Desktop/Quick Launch toolbar for Win95 or Windows NT 4.0?

The Windows Desktop Update component included with Internet Explorer 4.0, 4.01, 4.01 Service Pack 1, 4.01 Service Pack 2, and Microsoft Windows 98 includes the following enhancements to the classic Windows shell:

The Active Desktop.

A single, customizable Explorer with Web View.

A Web-integrated Start menu and taskbar.

Click (rather than double-click) items to open them; point at items to select them.

To install the Quick Launch toolbar and the Active Desktop interface on Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 you need to install the Windows Desktop Update package, also known as Active Desktop (although they are not the same thing: Active Desktop is merely a part of the Desktop Update). This is included with Internet Explorer version 4.x only; it is not included with IE5.x or IE6.

You must install IE4.x before upgrading to a later version of IE if you want the Desktop Update installed. If you have already installed IE 5.x or IE6 and would like to install the Windows Desktop Update, carry out the following steps:

Uninstall Internet Explorer 5.x or Internet Explorer 6.

If Internet Explorer 4.01 SP2 (the latest version of IE4) is not already installed on your computer, install it.

Install the Windows Desktop Update.

Reinstall Internet Explorer 5.x or Internet Explorer 6.

Unfortunately, Microsoft has removed IE4 from its website and is no longer available for download. You can still find IE4 in various places, like the Windows NT Option Pack CD, Windows 95 C OSR2.5 CD, and the Outlook 98 CD.

If you can not obtain IE4, there are still a few ways to install the Desktop Update, but you must have a copy of IE5Setup.EXE, which is included with the Internet Explorer 5.x installation source files.

Make sure that you are connected to the Internet.

Open a DOS Prompt/Command prompt, and go to the directory where the IE5 installation source files are located.

Execute the following command:

For NT 4.0:

IE5Setup.exe /C:"ie5wzd /e:IE4Shell_NTx86 /I:Y"

For WIN95:

IE5Setup.exe /C:"ie5wzd /e:IE4Shell_WIN /I:Y"

You can also install the Desktop Update directly IE6, but as with the above commands for IE5, you need to be connected to the Internet.

For NT 4.0:

IE6Setup.exe /C:"ie6wzd /e:IE4Shell_NTx86 /I:Y"

IE6 is NOT supported under Win95, and cannot be installed.
