Stage 3: Integrating the Windows Desktop Update

The Windows Desktop Update makes the desktop and folders look and work more like the Web. It is a component of Internet Explorer that can be installed separately from the browser. As a corporate administrator, you can determine whether or not the Windows Desktop Update is included in your custom package.

When the Windows Desktop Update is installed, users can browse their computers just as they browse the Web, and they can browse the Web from nearly anywhere on their computer. They will find the Go and Favorites menus everywhere. They can also add "active content," such as a stock ticker, to their desktop, the taskbar, or folders. And they can single-click files to open and run them.

Do you want Web browser functionality integrated into the desktop?
To install the Windows Desktop Update, click Yes. If you don't want to install it, click No. You can customize settings for the desktop—and determine whether users can change these settings—later in the wizard.
