The links listed here lead to utilities which generally improve on your web experience
iHarvest - Internet do-it-all saving and referencing tool. This utility allows you to download an entire web site onto your hard drive to browse. It improves much the existing Internet Explorer 5 interface.
Surfsaver - Another such utility.
Maxmem - Comes personally recommended to improve PC memory management. Have you ever scanned 10 photos or run 10 applications simultaneously and found the machine runs like a snail, swapping memory in and out constantly? This program reclaims memory which Win95 does'nt immediately re-allocate and lets your machine run as fast as if you had just booted up! This is ESPECIALLY useful when viewing lots and lots of pictures.
Cacheman - Another utility to improve disk cache settings and performance on slow machines - particularly useful for cd-writers or the indefinitely outdated "power-user".
