By entering into the settlement with the Justice Department, Mi crosoft avoided the possibility of being hit with a $1 million-a-day fine by the court. The settlement represented only a temporary vic tory for the Justice Department, as the broader dispute in its antitrust case remains pending in court. The government lawsuit, filed in October, seeks to prevent Mi crosoft from requiring computer makers to preinstall Internet Ex plorer as a condition of licensing Windows 95, the software that han dles basic operations on personal computers and enjoys more than an 80 percent share of the market. The government contends Mi crosoft is using its near monopoly in Windows to muscle into the In ternet browser market, thereby damaging rival Netscape Commu nications Corp. Browsers enable people to view and download in formation from the Internet. Under the agreement, Mi crosoft agreed to let computer makers install Windows 95 but delete the Internet Explorer icons — the pictures that launch a pro gram with a click of a computer mouse — from the computer’s desktop or opening screen. That leaves the Internet Explor er program in the computer, but not visible to the average user. In ternet Explorer files are integrated with Windows 95 to let other pro grams, such as Intuit's Quicken personal financial software, access the Internet, Microsoft said. Computer makers will be able to delete the Internet Explorer files via the "Add/Delete” program that comes with Windows95.
