Clint Windows Explorer needs to connect to the Internet because you can use
the run line and send email or access the net from a local point instead of
accessing it through your browser already on the Net. It is a good way to
send email so it can not be traced. Also with Win 98 and beyond you can
configure through toolbars/customize you can create a launch pad from your
desktop and access any http site or ftp site.
I think that is why access to the Net through Windows Explorer makes sense.
