Top 10 Ways to Save Time with Internet Explorer 6
|
Quickly access all your favorite Web sites.
No need to remember long Web addresses. Save Web sites you use every day to your Favorites menu so they're just a mouse click away. You can even create folders to better organize your Favorites list.
Select your own home page.
With Internet Explorer, it's easy to make a Web site your default home page so that every time you launch Internet Explorer, you're taken straight to the Web site of your choice. Stocks, weather, news, sports—whatever you want!
Help protect your privacy on the Web.
Internet Explorer gives you ways to help control your privacy online so you can specify what types of information Web sites can collect about you. You can even control the types of content that your computer can access on the Internet.
Easily work with pictures on the Web.
The new Image Toolbar in Internet Explorer gives you an easy way to work with pictures on the Web. Save, print, even e-mail photos you find on Web pages with a single click of the mouse.
View Web pages even when you aren't connected to the Internet.
With the offline viewing capabilities in Internet Explorer, it's easy to make Web pages available for viewing when your computer doesn't have an Internet connection. Offline viewing is especially handy if you are traveling with a laptop or don't want to tie up the Internet connection in your home.
Easily locate Web sites you visited several days ago.
Forgot the address for a Web site you visited a few days ago? No problem. Just use the History menu to locate Web sites that you've already visited. You can even search your History list and view sites by name, date, or most frequently visited.
Print Web pages with confidence.
The Print Preview feature lets you see what's going to print before it actually prints so you can quickly make any needed adjustments to the page setup.
Customize the toolbar with your most commonly used features.
With a quick right-click of the mouse, you can customize the Internet Explorer toolbar with buttons for the features you use most. For example, add buttons for Cut, Copy, and Paste.
Get the latest updates to help keep your system secure.
With the Microsoft Update service, security updates are available to you as soon as Microsoft releases them. When you connect to the Internet, Microsoft Update scans your system and alerts you to the latest updates you can download and install. Want automatic updates instead? You got it. Microsoft Windows® XP can automatically download and install updates without interrupting you.
Quickly search the Web for information you need.
Internet Explorer has built-in search capabilities, so searching the Web for information you need is just a click away.
