Editing Windows Me (section)

===Networking technologies===
* Net Crawler: Windows Me introduced a net crawling feature<ref>{{cite web|url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/276322|title=How to Disable Net Crawl Functionality|date=2007-01-29|website=Microsoft Support|publisher=[[Microsoft]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080423121641/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/276322|archive-date=2008-04-23|url-status=dead|access-date=2014-05-21}}</ref> which automatically searches out and creates shortcuts to network shares and printers in ''My Network Places''. This can be controlled using the ''Automatically search for network folders and printers'' option. Shortcuts that are added by the net crawler but not detected again on the network in a reasonable time period are aged out and deleted.
* New [[TCP/IP]] Stack: Windows Me includes the [[Windows 2000]] networking stack and architecture.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/WinMe/maintain/netcomp.mspx?mfr=true|title=MS Windows Millennium Edition: Networking Components|website=[[Microsoft Technet]]|publisher=[[Microsoft]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061124202407/http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/WinME/maintain/netcomp.mspx|archive-date=2006-11-24|url-status=dead|access-date=2019-04-05}}</ref>
* The Home Networking Wizard is designed to help users to set up a computer that is running Windows Me for use on a small [[home network]]. This includes setting up [[Internet Connection Sharing]] (ICS) on a computer running Windows Me so the computer can share a connection to the Internet with other computers on the home network.
* [[Dial-up]] Networking component was updated in Windows Me and provides several enhancements while maintaining the desired features of prior releases of the operating system. The user interface had been reworked to provide all configurable parameters in one convenient location. The user interface now included three new tabs: ''Networking'', ''Security'' and ''Dialing''. To improve dial-up networking, Windows Me includes built-in support for the Connection Manager dial-up client. Using the Connection Manager Administration Kit (an optional networking component in Windows 2000 Server), network administrators can pre-configure and deploy dial-up networking connections, by means of a Connection Manager service profile, to Windows Me–based client machines.
* [[Network Driver Interface Specification]] (NDIS) version 5.0 for Windows Me was enhanced to provide programming interface parity with NDIS version 5.0 in Windows 2000 (the programming interfaces used by network device drivers are the same for both platforms.)
* [[Universal Plug and Play]]: Windows Me introduced support for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). Universal Plug and Play and NAT traversal APIs can also be installed on [[Windows 98]] and [[Windows 98 SE]] by installing the Windows XP Network Setup Wizard.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa939488(WinEmbedded.5).aspx|title=Network Setup Wizard Down Level Setup|date=October 18, 2010|website=[[Microsoft Developer Network]]|publisher=[[Microsoft]]|access-date=April 5, 2019|archive-date=October 22, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022192342/http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa939488(WinEmbedded.5).aspx|url-status=live}}</ref>
