All of IE 4's toolbar and other controls are duplicated on its drop-down menus, accessed from the menu bar.

The File menu contains options to load multiple copies of the IE browser, load other IE 4 Suite applications, print the current Web page, load recently-accessed pages and work in offline mode, loading pages from your local hard disk.

The Edit menu lets you copy text from a web page, paste URLs into the address bar, edit the current page using the FrontPage Express editor, and locate words and phrases in the current page.

The Go menu enables you to navigate through your current browse session's history list, switch seamlessly back into browsing your local disk filing system, go to pre-configured Web pages, and load other IE 4 Suite applications. The Favorites menus provide access to your Favorites (Shortcuts), as well as your site subscriptions. The Help menu provides local and Web-based help and tutorial pages.
