Microsoft .NET Framework FAQ

How do I know if the Microsoft .Net Framework is installed?
Check to See If You Have the .NET Framework Installed You can check to see if you already have the .NET Framework 1.1 installed by clicking Start on your Windows desktop, selecting Control Panel, and then double-clicking the Add or Remove Programs icon. When that window appears, scroll through the list of applications. If you see Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 listed, the latest version is already installed and you do not need to install it again.

TIP: How to make a bookmark icon in MSIE 5 and 6?
Internet Explorer expects an icon file called favicon.ico file to reside in the directory of the page being bookmarked. All you have to do is to put an icon file called favicon.ico in every directory you want your own custom bookmark icon. You can of course use Easy Picture2icon to produce the icon file form a picture. Note that the icon must have the size 16x16.
