Re: Older browsers

I believe that there is a way. You need to use win98lite to unpick IE from
Windows, then reinstall IE to its own directory.

I haven't tried it, so I may be mistaken, but what you have to do is like
this:

Go to http://98lite.net and download IEradicator to first remove all
versions of IE from your system.  Then install the full version of IE 4x
into its own directory (don't use the default settings), followed by IE 5x
the same way.  What you are effectively doing is treating IE as an ordinary
application and not an integrated application.  Just remember you cannot
run two instances of two different version of IE at the same time.

This came from Kukla Fran and Ollie on this list around mid August.
