SYMPTOMS
When you install Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95, you may receive the
following message when you attempt to synchronize a Palm-size PC (P/PC)
with your desktop computer:
To synchronize channels you must be running MSIE 4.0 on your
desktop computer. You can install IE 4.0 from optional components
on the Desktop Software for Windows CE compact disc.

following registry key:
