Changes

 * Updated Internet Explorer 4 to version 4.71.1003. On higher color depths, icons now have a more three-dimensional appearance. The previous flat icons are still used on lower color depths.
 * Outlook Express now stores messages locally by default.
 * The "Users" Control Panel applet received a visual uplift, including a new side graphic.
 * Texts of shut down options in the Shut Down Windows dialog box replaced with the ones used in the RTM.
 * The Windows Help interface has been overhauled, now using the HTML Help framework instead of WinHelp.

Microsoft Family Logon
Compared to earlier builds, the logon client received a graphic at the left side of it, which simply shows the Windows logo at the top of the graphic on a white background, while the rest is colored teal.
