Windows Me - The best updates, bug fixes and patches for Windows Me

November 28, 2013
Updated: April 14, 2022
Quick overview:

Windows Me still has many bugs and problems as well as bottlenecks that affect system performance and stability. Microsoft only becomes aware of this after a while and gradually brings out programs (so-called updates) that eliminate the problem. Windows Tweaks now presents the most important updates for your Windows and its components.

Make passwords for packed files secure

As already mentioned in previous chapters, Windows Me offers the function of compressing files and folders. However, it is also possible to set up a password, which increases security. Unfortunately, Windows Millennium Edition stores this password in a file that can be spied on by malicious users. The following update fixes this problem.

The new Internet Explorer 6.0

It had its premiere in Windows XP and is also available for Windows 2000. It has been further developed and offers the user increased security, comfort and a faster speed when surfing the Internet. I recommend replacing the existing IE 5.5 with the current 6 version.

Even the new IE 6.0 still has a few gaps that resourceful hackers can break through. With the help of this update, these are completely plugged and thus made inaccessible. So that you can protect your data and your system, you should definitely install this patch.

NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION: This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
