Available Applets. Six categories of applets available with the standard installation of Gnome. Among the most useful is Drive Mount, which provides an icon for the floppy disk drive and shows the current state of the drive. Clicking on this icon will mount or unmounted  the drive. This is quicker than right-clicking and choosing the mount or unmount menu items, which are the alternatives.

If you are not currently using Netscape Navigator, it will launch the program automatically. If you are running Netscape, WebControl also provides the option to open the website that you have chosen in a new window.
