Can't anyone answer this question that I posted a week
ago? Here it is again:

I'm a bit afraid of upgrading from IE 4 to IE 6.

For one thing, I use FrontPageExpress extensively, and it
is no longer bundled with the new version of IE. If I
upgrade to the new version, will I still be able to use
the FPexpress that's currently in my computer? (I have a
shortcut icon to FPexpress in my quick-launch area and I
don't want it to become inoperative or inaccesible.) Any
tips here? Is there anything special that I can - or must -
do to hold onto FPexpress when I download IE6?

I'm also wondering what happens to OE. Will all of my mail
folders and old messages transfer seamlessly to the new
version, or not? How does that work? Again, anything
special that I need to do in order to assure that?

I assume that in the new IE browser, all of my old
favorites and favorites subfolders will still remain
intact - right?

I sure wish that Microsoft would provide some information
about these kind of upgrading questions on their IE
download page. (I couldn't even find these questions
addressed in the FAQ's.) Surely, I'm not the only one
who's wondered what happens when you upgrade to a newer
version. What's up with Microsoft, anyway? You can't even
email them a question about their own products?? (Sorry
about this mini tirade; I'm just frustrated.)

If you can help, I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks!
ps - please email the response to me at

Apparently you can download an instal fpexpress from here:

Your email will still be there when you upgrade. To be totally safe. Have a
look here : http://www.oehelp.com/OEBackup/Default.aspx

Microsoft ?????
 
Whatever you do don't try to uninstall IE4 first.
That is the only way that you will be able to keep
your Quick Launch tray.

We don't know your OS but I'm assuming it must be NT4.
Hopefully you have IE401SP2 otherwise you may have
some instability. That may be repairable after installing IE6sp1.

The only thing I know about FPE is that it stopped being
bundled with IE installs. It still worked under IE6 when
I tried it.


Good luck
