How do I have a custom "HTTP 404" error page for Internet Explorer?

Do you mean you want a custom 404 error page on your website or just
want to see one when you go to a link that doesn't exist? The error
pages are put on the website by the webmaster; this isn't anything the
end user has any control over. If you want to make your own 404 page
for your website, check with your webhost to see how they want you to
do it.

Then there's nothing you can do about this. As I said, error pages are
generated from the website. A webmaster can put up whatever error pages
he wants, but that's up to him, not you. Sorry.

I mean, the DEFAULT error page that comes up located at
res://C:\WINDOWS\System32\shdoclc.dll/dnserror.htm, that's what I want
to change. I would like to keep that, but I would like to have a
CUSTOMIZED error page ON THE SYSTEM. Well, I guess that can't be done
then.

OS: windows xp home
IE 6

Well, in that case I suppose you could just open dnserror.htm in an html
editor like Mozilla's composer or Notepad if you can write your own
html. Just change the file to what you want.

I tried, but it wouldn't edit in FrontPage (2000)

Perhaps the file is set "read only". Right-click on it and then choose
"Properties" and clear the "read only" box. I've never used FrontPage,
so can't comment on its use. Good luck.
