I want to install the latest "IE" gui for my win95. I know if you install the ie4 cd that shipped with osr2 you get the GUI. But is there a later version of this? or does it get updated if you just install ie6 over it? Because if i only install ie6, it does nothing for the gui...

As far as I know (and I my be wrong) IE6.0 does not support Win 95. The latest version of IE that supports Win 95 is IE 5.5. It will update the GUI for IE but not Windows.

IE 4 came with an option to add the 'Windows Desktop Update' to provide the 98 style GUI to Windows 95. I'm not sure if you later installed IE 5.x whether it would allow the Destop Update to remain or whether it would overwrite it.

There is a MS article which may help:

IE 4 has the active desktop, later version did'nt because of its incorporation in win98 up.

If you install IE 4 then IE 5.5 the win98 style desktop remains.
