Win. Explorer

IE 4.0 impossible downgrade

OS : Windows 95

User Level : Intermed.

It is almost impossible to down grade from IE 4.0 to IE 3.02. I have the 

solver for the problem. 1. Use the win95 uninstall to uninstall whatever 

IE version You now have installed. 2. Reboot the computer and press 

F8 when "Starting Windows 95" is displayed. 3. From the startup menu 

choose command prompt only. 4. Type the following lines at the command 

prompt. cd\windows (substitute your Windows directory name if it is not 

Windows) smartdrv, deltree tempor~1, deltree history, CD system, ren 

mshtml.dll mahtml.old, ren shdocwv.dll shdocwv.old, ren inetcfg.dll, 

netcfg.old, ren actxprxy.dll actxprxy.old, ren wininet.dll wininet.old, 

ren cachevu.dll cachevu.old, ren inetcpl.cpl inetcpl.old, ren shiwapi.dll 

shiwapi.old, ren url.dll url.old, ren urlmon.dll urlmon.old, ren wsock32n.dll

wsock32n.old. Restart Windows 95 and then reinstall whatever version 

of Internet Explorer you are using.
