Specifying Custom Package Configurations

Using the Internet Explorer Customization wizard, you can select which components of Internet Explorer to install. This capability means that you can tailor client installations to include the best set of features for your users, while reducing the amount of disk space needed. The Customization wizard also enables you to specify a wide variety of configuration options. For example, you can specify security and proxy settings, and the media and setup options used to distribute the custom package to your users.

For more information about custom package configurations, review the following:

• Chapter 13, "Setting Up Servers," which provides information about setting up your servers to work with Internet Explorer and the components and options you select.
• Chapter 15, "Running the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard," which describes the components and options you can implement with your custom browser packages.
• "Considering User Needs," later in this chapter, which can help you determine whether any additional user requirements may affect your configuration choices.
• "Developing a Deployment Plan," later in this chapter, which describes documenting your components and options in a deployment plan.
