Only Windows users with Internet Explorer as the default browser in the operating system, which will mark something of options screen.
- These users will first bring up a screen where they among other things, is told what a browser is.
- Then they get up the selection screen, where the five major browsers are presented in random order. A number of other browsers will be presented in the same interface, but then the user pushing the presentation of the five largest aside.

Users who receive the options page either choose to postpone the election until the next time you restart the computer, or to choose a browser that is then downloaded, installed and set as default browser for the system. There will also be offered an opportunity to remove access to IE. It does not mean that IE is removed completely. The engine is also used by other Windows components.
