Overview for Internet Content Providers

The Microsoft« Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) enables Internet Content Providers (ICPs) and Internet Developers to create a custom browser for customers who already have Internet accounts.

As an ICP, you can also create a custom browser if you plan to use the Microsoft referral server as part of your custom package. This referral server, which provides information about Internet service providers in your area, is maintained by Microsoft. You can link to sign-up servers using this referral server.

In addition to customizing the way your browser will appear to users, you can include one or two programs that users can choose to install when they set up your custom browser on their desktop computers. You can also add any or all of the optional Internet programs included with the kit. If included, you can also specify whether the programs automatically install on the userÆs desktop computer or the user is able to select each component from an installation menu.

You can use this kit to do the following:

Customize the Setup program

Customize the browser and Web Integrated Desktop
