5. Click on where it says "Form1" once and go to the properties panel located in the bottom right corner and look for the "text" property, change that to whatever you wish your web browser to be called.
6. Now add 6 buttons which can be found in the "toolbox" located at the left and name them: Back, Forward, Refresh, Stop, Home and Go.

Nice share, but I would worry about the level of security a self made browser would offer. Couldn't be worse the Interent Explorer though
