Browser Faq's

 

BROWSER INTRODUCTION

 

           It seems the only thing we do more often than checking our email is searching. Instead of visiting sites they already know, people use the web as a source of information.

         Internet Explorer  makes it very easy to search just by typing two or more words into the Address bar - if you only type a single word, Internet Explorer tries to AutoComplete it as a web address instead.

      This gets you a list of results from the MSN search engine in your browser window, which is helpful if you see the page you want straight away.

            When you want to check several of the results without having to use the Back button all the time, or without ending up with umpteen  windows because you’re opening them all in new windows, you can set Internet Explorer to open the Search bar 

with your results on the left of the browser and load the ‘most likely’ page in the main window. 

        Choose Tools > Internet > Advanced and scroll down until you see ‘Search from the Address bar’, pick ‘Display results and go to the most likely site’. If you prefer, you can choose to go directly to the best match instead.

There are two ways to keep track of the sites you visit.

             When you know you’re going visit a web page again, you can add it to your Favorites list. When you neglect to do this, then discover later that you want to go there again, look in the History pane; it’s also handy for stepping back several pages at once.

           As you find web pages you like and bookmark them (Favorites > Add to Favorites), you’ll want to start organising the links. Go to Favorites > Organize Favorites to rename, move and delete links or create new folders. 

         You can drag links to move them or Control-drag to copy them: if you want more than one folder open at once while you’re doing that, change the ‘Close Unused Folders’ setting in Tools > Internet Options > Advanced.

And the list goes on as to what you can do...............
