Yes you can. Not through "traditional" methods, but it can be done (not too difficult either). You have it backwards. IE uses Explorer functionality.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

@terminillis

Everyone should have to include Plan9 :)

As for Microsoft, for all the downsides to the OS theyve also really helped to push technology with their industry leading apis. There's no-one around that can compete in terms of functionality and/or performance, which ups the anti for competitors and ultimately leads to a better experience for everyone. Some industries benefit from a ten tonne gorilla. If it wasnt MS it'd be someone else.
