IE4 Shell Tweaks 1.0
--------------------
Requirements:
- Windows 95
- MS Internet Explorer 4.0 with the Windows Desktop Update
Its possibly some of this may work on Windows 98 too.
The registry patches included in this archive allow you to tweak your start menu, and
remove some of the useless options which have plagued us since Windows 95 was released,
and also the pesky new Favorites menu which has been introduced in IE4. Hopefully a new
version of Powertoys will come out soon, and include all this.
Specifically you can remove the following from your Start Menu:
- the Favorites menu;
- the Documents menu;
- the Find Menu;
- the Run option
You can also re-enable any of these options, if you decide you want them back.
USAGE
-----
Just run the relevant .reg file, and reboot. For example, if you want to remove the
Documents menu, run the file 'Documents Menu OFF.reg'. Alternately, if you want your
documents menu back, run 'Documents Menu ON.reg'.
NOTE
----
These patches are ONLY for Windows 95 systems running Internet Explorer 4.0 FINAL with
the Windows Desktop Update. These patches have NOT been tested on the Platform Preview
releases, and I advise against doing so.
I don't know if these patches work on Windows NT 4.0 ( or Win98), perhaps someone can
test them for me, and let me know.
FUTURE VERSIONS
---------------
Microsoft have done a great job with the IE4 Shell Integration, and there are plenty
more goodies which can be tweaked. I'll finish picking apart the new shell, and post an
update with some more tweaks soon. :)
Any comments, problems, questions, just email me. Also, if anyone has an IE4 homepage,
and wants to give this file a home, I'd appreciate it. Lemme know, and I'll send you
updates.
1 October 1997.
