This integration allows IE4 to display the My Computer folder in Windows 8.

It blurred the lines between Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer. IE4 was deeply integrated with Windows 98 and 95. NOTE: Changing settings in this dialogue box WILL CHANGE YOUR IE10 SETTINGS! For instance, if you change your IE home page, it will set that home page for IE10 as well. It has less options than that for IE10, but the options dialogue box has remained between these versions. This is the classic IE Options Dialogue box. The most interesting thing about this is that changing settings on this ancient dialogue box WILL CHANGE THE BEHAVIOR OF WINDOWS 8 FILE EXPLORER! That is, if you choose an option here, that option will be applied to your Windows 8 file manager. IE4 comes with the legacy folder options. If you open IE4 on a PC logged in with your Microsoft account, you will be able to access all your synced favorites directly from IE4. The content of this menu is the same as that for IE10. I wish the current versions of IE did this. This about dialogue box has a nice animation that is pretty modern looking.

But here are some screenshots and their description showing IE4 running on Windows 8.

If you are interested in trying this yourself, I’ll have the link at the end of this article. That way, we are not harming Windows 8 a single bit. We know that Windows 8 comes with Internet Explorer 10 installed It’s not possible to simply downgrade six versions (even if it was, results would be disastrous.) So we are going to run IE4 alongside IE10. This time, however, it’s not any old software but a component of Windows that is almost two decades old! We are going to run Internet Explorer version 4.0 on Windows 8.0. Let’s have some fun guys! We are going to run ancient software in Windows 8.
