Everything about Internet Explorer shell
Programs based on the Internet Explorer browser engine
An Internet Explorer shell is a class of computer program that uses the Internet Explorer browser engine, known as MSHTML and previously Trident. This engine is closed-source, but Microsoft has exposed an application programming interface (API) that permits the developers to instantiate either MSHTML or a full-fledged chromeless Internet Explorer within the graphical user interface of their software.
