Here are some key features of "AOL Desktop (formerly AOL Desktop Search)":

A Better Browser:

· As soon as you open AOL Desktop, the browser is ready to go - without signing in. Tabs let you keep several sites all open at once, and easy access to Search is always on the top of your screen.

Built-In AIM:
· AOL Desktop helps you stay connected to the people you care about. AIM® is built-in -- so you can see which of your buddies are online and instantly chat, share pictures and more. Don't want to be interrupted by IMs? Make yourself invisible so others won't know you're online.

Streamlined Email:
· Tabs in the mail window help organize the messages you're writing and reading, no matter how many you have open. And you can read, send and receive messages from multiple email accounts - even non-AOL services such as Gmail?, Verizon® and more - within the same window.

Custom Toolbar:
· It's your toolbar, so arrange it the way you want! AOL Desktop's toolbar is completely customizable, putting your favorite sites right at your fingertips. Quick Access Panels provide an at-a-glance peek at the latest headlines from AOL and other sites, just by hovering your mouse over the icon -- no click necessary.

More Personalization:
· New to AOL Desktop are additional personalization tools that let you customize your online experience. Change Desktop's background image or colors, or even set up a slideshow using your favorite photos.

Requirements:

· Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher
· 166 MHz Pentium-class processor or higher
· 128MB RAM, 460MB free disk space
· 28.8 Kbps or faster modem, or other Internet connection
