Internet Explorer != protocol.

Therefore, I may come and sneak in your computer since I added something

Nice try,

I would rather see you continue to make an ass out of yourself across
severer al newsgroups with your spam.

Going back to Windows 95 or another lame look.

Internet Explorer has nothing to do with boot time.

Nobody gives a flying *** except your likes.
