Windows 98 build 1423

Windows 98 build 1423 is a build of Windows 98, which was released for WinHEC 1997 in April of that year as a "Developer Release Update".

Changes

 * Internet Explorer 4 was downgraded to Internet Explorer 3.02. As a result, Outlook Express 4.0 was likewise downgraded back to Internet Mail and News 1.0, and HTML Help has been removed.
 * Temporarily removed the Windows Desktop Update and the Show Desktop button on the taskbar. They would later be re-added in build 1525, albeit with the latter feature now located at the Quick Launch bar.
 * Removed the Settings Wizards introduced in build 1410.
 * A slightly newer version of ActiveMovie is now included.
 * The font for the "Memphis Setup" title in the second stage of setup has been changed from Times New Roman to Microsoft Sans Serif. However, this change will be reverted after "Network Identification".

Bugs
It is not recommended to upgrade from builds 1400-1415, due to the older version of Internet Explorer. If doing this, cancel installation of IE 3 during configuration. The same with build 1434.
