Tips for Windows users:
"The Right Click"
Just in case you didn't realize it, the right button on your mouse gives
you a small menu of common choices relative to
the program you are
using. You should already know that the left button selects things, and
the same applies when you
open the right click window.
In Internet Explorer, this is a choice you may want to use more often...
"Open in new window"
Why? Because it will leave the original window open too, and you wont have to wait to reload it if you may need it.
The best example of
such need is a search for something on your favorite search engine, such as Google.
You have many results you might look at to find what you are searching
for, why reload
the page of the "search results"?
Why is this better than Tabs? Because Tabs
take up unnecessary space of your window.
The "tab" is at the bottom as usual anyway. (Not Win8)
Resize your "2nd Window"
Some sites, like this one. will have a second
window pop open on links so the original window stays in place.
But then that new window
is only a portion of the size of the previous and you have to reset it (maximize it).
Here is what to do to fix that: Open one Internet
Explorer window. (Start IE.) If the window is not automatically maximized close it,
go to the icon for IE on the desktop, right click,
choose "properties", the shortcut should be set to run "maximized". (Click okay too.)
Now open IE, it should fill
the screen. Next....
At the top right 3 choices of " _ O X "
Choose the center to reduce the window
to the smaller size.
Now reposition the window to the top left edge, and then grab the other corner to stretch the window larger to fill
the window.
Now click the again to max it again. Close IE and launch again. Come here and see if it worked.
The Links Bars
Do you see a word "Links" at the right top side of your toolbars? If so, you're missing out
on probably one of the best features of IE.
It's part of your "Favorites".
Click on "View", down and over on "Toolbars" and
click on "Lock Toolbars"
to uncheck and unlock the bars.
Now notice you should see an edge || left of Links. Put your cursor on the || at the left of the Address
bar and
(left click and hold the left button) drag it up to the wasted area to the right of the word "HELP" above it.
The Links bar should have popped down, If not, drag the ||Links down,
and to the left. Now that it's available,
go up to "Favorites",
"Organize Favorites" and organize your lists, but put the emphasis on the Links folder
and those things will be available on
the links bar. It should look something like this when you are through.
(IE6 and 7 works well. IE8
and later they screwed it up and it is harder.)
Special Note: Microsoft has screwed up the Links (now
called favorites) bar. It it harder to manipulate but with a bucket of
patience,
you can make it work good for you. You could give me a call and I'll
help you with it.
