Using Internet Explorer

The Internet Explorer display is divided into six regions. From top to bottom they are: a row of pull-down menus, the toolbars (Navigation, Address, and Links) the HTML viewer, and the Status bar.

To go to a known site, enter the web-address (a.k.a. the Universal Resource Locator, the URL) on the Address line. Most web addresses begin with 'http://' (e.g., http://www.yahoo.com); this may be omitted however as IE will imply it (e.g., yahoo.com). IE also uses 'Auto Complete' and will suggest frequently used URLs by displaying matching addresses in its history file through a drop-down menu. To hide or show the Address line, select View Address Bar and remove or add the checkmark.

The HTML viewer fills the majority of the IE display. It is here that homepages are displayed. Within a given homepage often appear images and underscored text. When you click on a link, the web page to which that link points will then be retrieved and displayed.

The Status Bar at bottom will indicate the percentage of downloading that is complete when retrieving a web page. To hide or show the Status Bar remove or add the checkmark at View Status Bar.

The Navigation toolbar is the strip of buttons starting on left with a 'Back' arrow and ending on right with 'Edit'. All the buttons on the toolbar have an equivalent in a pull-down menu. To hide the toolbar, remove checkmark from View >> Button Bar.

To hide all the toolbars or to customize your current toolbars click View >> Collapse Toolbars or View >> Customize Toolbars.
