This article was previously published under Q177866 SYMPTOMS
When you click a link in Internet Explorer 4.0 or 4.01, an outline is
drawn around the link. In Internet Explorer 3.x, there is no outline drawn
around the link. Changing the Highlight Link When Clicked option has no
effect.
CAUSE
This option is disabled in Internet Explorer 3.x and 4.0.
RESOLUTION
The option has been removed in Internet Explorer 4.01. In earlier versions
of Internet Explorer, there is no workaround to change the default
behavior of the browser.
STATUS
Internet Explorer 4.01 has been modified to remove the Highlight Links
When Clicked option. The default behavior is retained from Internet
Explorer 4.0.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Explorer versions
3.0, 3.01, 3.02, and 4.0 for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.
