For the record, when you install IE5 over IE4, you do have the option of keeping IE4 
around in "compatibility mode" - so that it is possible to have both of those versions 
installed simultaneously.  The only way I've heard of to include IE3 in that mix is to 
do something like downloading IE3 (16-bit), sacrificing a chicken or two, and 
installing it into a different directory...but I can't confirm that.
