> > Frontier 5: Frontier and the Active Desktop

> > If you've installed the Active Desktop on Windows 95 or NT -- even if you've turned off its features -- there's a small change you can make in Internet Explorer's preferences that will allow it to work better with Frontier.

> > Instructions

> > 1. In Internet Explorer, open the Internet Options dialog box from the View menu.

> > 2. Click on the Advanced tab.

> > 3. Find the line called Browse. If it's collapsed, double-click the icon next to it to expand it.

> > 4. Check the box next to "Browse in a new process."

> > 5. Quit and re-launch Internet Explorer.

> > Why do this?

> > If you're building web pages with Internet Explorer as your web browser, Frontier will open up a separate window every time you publish a page -- unless you change your preferences as above. Then your browser window will be "recycled" -- every time you publish or preview a page the same browser window will be re-used.

> > Technical details

> > (You can skip this part if you want!)

> > If you don't have Internet Explorer browse in a new process, Frontier won't be able to detect when Internet Explorer is running. Frontier searches for a process called "Iexplore.exe" -- but with the Active Desktop this process isn't listed.

> > You can check this out for yourself: right-click in the task bar and open the Task Manager. Click the Processes tab. Is there a process called "Iexplore.exe?" (Or "IEXPLORE.EXE" -- case doesn't matter.)
