And, speaking of which, it was not Microsoft who's forcing IE on our users - it was always us:

"The Custom Controls Library file, comctl32.dll, version 4.70 or later, is required to change the TreeView background color. This file is available by installing Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later. Note that this file is not currently redistributable. If you need this file, then you must require your users to install Internet Explorer 4.0. Please review the information regarding the use and redistribution rights for Microsoft Internet Explorer located at:"
