Default IE file lost: "Required .DLL Patcher file not found"

I recently bought a used Dell XPS 0333 Win98 computer from a buddy

horror I discovered that my required IE browser file is missing.

ERROR STARTING PROGRAM
A required .DLL file, Patcher.DLL, was not found.


Patcher.dll is not a necessary win-98 file. It is not a microsoft
file.

Patcher.dll seems to be associated with or provided by AOL.

IE will work fine without patcher.dll. Ideally you do not want
patcher.dll on your system.
