[[Windows 98]] included Internet Explorer 4 and substantially refined the Explorer UI to be integrated with Internet Explorer. The overall shell update was known as the Windows Desktop Update. Explorer windows now featured a bar at the left side containing information about the selected folder or file, this was known as the "Web view" and could be disabled in favor of the Windows 95-like experience. Various system folders would first display a warning page that the user had to skip in order to see folder contents. An improved toolbar, based on that of Internet Explorer, was also now shown by default, allowing users to easily navigate the directories much like they would navigate a website. Windows 98 also introduced Active Desktop, which allowed web content to be placed on the desktop. Animations were added to context menus, and title bars could now be customised with two-colour gradients. The taskbar received the ability to host various toolbars (removed in [[Windows 11]]), and a "Quick launch" section of shortcuts on the left side next to the Start button (removed in [[Windows 7]]). [[Windows Me]] added a minor enhancement to Control Panel, grouping the most frequently used settings into a category view. The classic icon view was still available, however. | [[Windows 98]] included Internet Explorer 4 and substantially refined the Explorer UI to be integrated with Internet Explorer.

Most of these changes were ported to the NT line with [[Windows 2000]], and installing [[Internet Explorer 4]] on Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 would bring over most of the changes as well if the user chose to install the Desktop Update. These changes and integration with Internet Explorer became highly controversial due to the inability of OEMs and end users to remove Internet Explorer (which was perceived as Microsoft trying to curb competition in the browser market), and were the subject of the [[ | Most of these changes were ported to the NT line with [[Windows 2000]], and installing [[Internet Explorer 4]] on Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 would bring over most of the changes as well if the user chose to install the Desktop Update.
