Jooel,

I ran Win95 clients for many years with & without IE4 & I never once had a problem with accessing the @UserID function (I always ran kxrpc - maybe that has something to do with it.) To my recollection I can not recall having ever heard about an IE upgrade impacting on the @UserID function. I have heard about MSNET32 updates affecting kixtart network functions but I thought this only related to Win95 SP1.

Yes, I agree that an IE4 or IE5 upgrade on Win95 is essential but I not sure how this impacts on the @UserID function.

PS: If implementing the active desktop is required for a shell upgrade, then mustn't the ie5.5 upgrade also update the shell because it also implements the active desktop?

skillz,

In terms of patches, why don't you apply the DUN1.4 patch & then afterwards remove dialup networking from the network setup. The Dun1.4 upgrade contains most of the latest network patches for Win95.
