Software

Web Browsers
Some of these have been slightly tweaked so the default home pages point to active links designed with old browsers in mind. Remember, these can also be reached from the FTP server if you need a very quick way to get a web browser on your old machine.
Windows 3.1x users: Since you'll most likely already have a TCP/IP connection of some kind through Ethernet these days, you should not install the TCP/IP stack and dialer so as to not be pestered with the modem installation process.
Internet Explorer 3
- Windows 95/NT4 (version 3.02, no Java VM) (11.0 MB)
- Windows 3.1x (version 3.03, no Java VM) (3.92 MB)
- Windows NT 3.51 (version 3.03, no Java VM) (3.23 MB)
Internet Explorer 5
- Windows 3.1x/NT 3.51 (version 5, no Java VM, no stack) (7.63 MB)

As of September 7th, 2021, the Internet Explorer 5.5 package for Windows 9x/NT4/2000 was updated with to offer the option to install the Active Desktop update (the Windows 98 webby shell) via a custom installation. For this reason, the Internet Explorer 4.01 SP2 mirror was deleted.
Important: If you decide to install the Desktop Update at a later time after you install the browser itself, both components "Internet Explorer 5.5 Web Browser" and "Windows Desktop Update" MUST be selected for reinstallation so the new shell installs properly! Selecting only the desktop update component leaves both Windows 95 and NT4 with a broken IE shell, and this can only be fixed by either uninstalling Internet Explorer or reinstalling both components at once. I do not have the time to develop a better workaround for this right now.
If you want to extract the contents of these packages to put on a CD-ROM or local network share, just use 7-Zip
