Click
here for some tips on
organizing your favorite Favorites
Want
to add some cool features to IE? Click here
for some freebie add-ons from Microsoft. I especially like the
Toolbar Wallpaper and the Web Accessories
Some
web sites have a lot of info in them and require that you do a lot of
scrolling (like mine .... LOL), so the site is more readable if you
display it full
screen. With Internet Explorer, this is easy to do ..... just hit the F11 key on your keyboard (try it now) and you
will see how much more you can see. To get back to regular
view, just hit the F11 key again.
Did you set up the Content
Advisor and now you have forgotten your password and can't get in?
Click
here.
Did you ever want to go back to a site you visited previously and forgot to save
in your Favorites? Well, you can click the dropdown arrow at the end of your
Address (URL) box but, depending on your settings, it may no longer be visible
there. Click Ctrl-H to open the History list. In here is the full
list of all the sites in your history since you last cleared it. You can
either scroll down thru the list or use the search button to search for
it. There's also a View button where you can choose to view the list by
site name, by date visited, by most visited, or by most visited today.
This can be real helpful when you have an idea WHEN you visited the site, but
can't remember the exact name or web address.
Tired of typing long URL's into your
address bar? Here's a little shortcut ..... just type the name of the site
(for example, Microsoft), then hold down your control key and hit enter.
IE will automatically add the http:// and the www. before the name and the .com
at the end. Pretty slick, huh?
Having problems with IE and want to go back to a previous
version? Or need an update or a patch? Get everything you need for
IE versions 4.01 to 6.0 HERE

It's

recommend this one highly for those who don't have a word processor
installed on their computer or don't want to mess around with the
find/replace feature. Thanks, Mr. Ed!!
