===Other components=== Unlike previous versions of Windows 9x, Windows Me was entirely aimed at home users, and thus had certain [[Enterprise software|enterprise]]-oriented features removed. Several features of its predecessors did not work or were officially unsupported by Microsoft on Windows Me, including Automated Installation,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/250104|title=Automated Installation Support in Windows Me|date=2007-01-27|website=Microsoft Support|publisher=[[Microsoft]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100504194711/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/250104|archive-date=2010-05-04|url-status=dead|access-date=2019-04-05}}</ref> [[Active Directory]] client services,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/276472|title=Directory Services Client Is Not Included with Windows Me|date=2007-01-29|website=Microsoft Support|publisher=[[Microsoft]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100613133454/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/276472|archive-date=2010-06-13|url-status=dead|access-date=2019-04-05}}</ref> System Policy Editor,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/266271|title=The Policy Editor Tool Is Not Supported in Windows Millennium Edition|date=2007-01-27|website=Microsoft Support|publisher=[[Microsoft]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090222182644/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/266271|archive-date=2009-02-22|url-status=dead|access-date=2010-08-26}}</ref> [[Microsoft Personal Web Server|Personal Web Server]] and [[Active Server Pages|ASP]].

Other features that were removed or never updated to work with Windows Me included [[Microsoft Fax]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258689|title=Microsoft Fax not supported on Windows Millennium Edition|date=2007-01-27|website=Microsoft Support|publisher=[[Microsoft]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090221164524/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258689|archive-date=2009-02-21|url-status=dead|access-date=2019-04-05}}</ref> [[QuickView]] and [[DriveSpace]], as well as the [[GUI]] [[FAT32]] conversion tool.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Jackman |first=Michael |url=http://www.techrepublic.com/article/the-secret-me-whered-microsoft-hide-the-fat16-to-fat32-conversion-tool/ |title=The secret Me: Where'd Microsoft hide the FAT16-to-FAT32 conversion tool? |magazine=TechRepublic |date=2001-01-24 |access-date=2014-05-21 |archive-date=May 21, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140521115945/http://www.techrepublic.com/article/the-secret-me-whered-microsoft-hide-the-fat16-to-fat32-conversion-tool/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Several [[Windows Explorer]] commands were also modified in Windows Me, matching the menu structure in Windows 2000. While some were simply moved to a different location, certain functionality of the Go menu, as well as the Find command on the Tools menu, are no longer available. For the latter change Microsoft recommends using a variety of similar functionality labeled Search.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/261937|title=Changes to Windows Explorer View and Tools Menus in Windows Me|date=2007-01-27|website=Microsoft Support|publisher=[[Microsoft]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070517040603/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/261937|archive-date=2007-05-17|url-status=dead|access-date=2013-01-09}}</ref> The [[Active Channel]]s Channel bar from the original release of Windows 98 is not installed upon first boot like with Windows 98 Second Edition, however it is retained when upgrading from the original release of Windows 98 to Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows Me. Windows Me, like Windows 98 Second Edition, did not ship with the [[WinG]] API or [[RealPlayer]] 4.0, unlike the original release of Windows 98, due to both of these having been superseded by DirectX and Windows Media Player, respectively. On the other hand, [[ActiveMovie]] still exists in Windows Me despite having been superseded by Windows Media Player.
