With WIN98SE,IE5 installs automatically, and in "add/remove programs" there is no option to remove it. There are threads about IE4/IE5 kind of addressing this, but nothing really says that it is as simple as deleting the IE5 and installing IE4. That's why I was curious. I may just have to live with 5.
Thanks,

Below is an excerpt:
"Internet Explorer 5 (IE5) is the latest generation of Microsoft's popular Web browser. The original Windows 98 included IE4 and now the Second Edition comes integrated with IE5.
IE5 is definitely worth getting if you haven't already done so. Features like autocomplete of forms and Web addresses plus faster page display is worth the upgrade alone.
Outlook Express v5 e-mail and newsreader also comes as an optional extra with Windows 98 SE.
If you have to run an earlier version of IE for some reason (like an enforced corporate standard) then you can't install or upgrade to Windows 98 Second Edition. IE5 is installed with Win98 SE and there's no option to stop it.
For the technically minded the IE5 supplied with SE is build 5.00.2614.3500 (check the Help ¦ About screen in the browser for the build number"
Bets bet is to keep or get an original Win98 and apply Service Pack 1. Or better yet purcahse Win2000 in Feb.

If this machine is important don't mess with it but if you can play around and don't mind reinstalling why not try.
