404 messages
I am wondering if there is a script out there that will make it so my 404 page will show up instead of that default one for IE 5.

This is easy. Create a file called ".htaccess" with instructions to the server. You can specify the 404, 403, and 500 errors here, plus set .html files to be parsed as .shtml files.
Here is my .htaccess file, feel free to modify it:
ErrorDocument 404 <a href="http://www.activewm.com/misc/notfound.html" class="bb-url">http://www.activewm.com/misc/notfound.html</a>
ErrorDocument 403 <a href="http://www.activewm.com/misc/notallowed.html" class="bb-url">http://www.activewm.com/misc/notallowed.html</a>
ErrorDocument 500 <a href="http://www.activewm.com/misc/servererror.html" class="bb-url">http://www.activewm.com/misc/servererror.html</a>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
addType text/x-server-parsed-html .html
addType text/x-server-parsed-html .htm
Most of this is self explanitory.
Now save this as ".htaccess" with nothing before the ".". Upload it to your root directory for documents, and you should be set.
Good Luck!
