Internet Explorer Part 2

In this part in our series we will look the section right under the top bar, this section holds an areea to hold all of your most commonly used favourites and also just underneath this area is the "tabs" section.

This image shows the left hand side of the area.

1. This is the area where you can store your most commonly used favourite web sites, as you can see we have already placed some favourites of our own in this area. To add your favourite sites just click on the website name in the address bar, hold the mouse button down and move into the favourites area then let go of the mouse button, if this is done correctly the web site should appear in this area.
2. This icon refers to tabs, using tabs allows you to open multiple websites without opening up Internet Explorer over and over again, this icon lets you see a preview all of the sites you currently have open.
3. This is the current tab you have open.
4. This is a tab we have already opened, we can easily go back to this tab by clicking it.
5. This allows us to open a new tab, when you click on this new tab icon you will see another page that asks you what you would like to do with the new tab.

1. This is your home button, clicking this will go to the home page that you prefer and have chosen.
2. This icon refers to RSS feeds or Really Simple Syndication, these are smaller versions if you like of web sites that you have visited, they are text only and usually load a lot quicker, when you visit a web site this icon will light up an orange colour this means that the site has an RSS feed that you can subscribe to.
3. This icon is directly linked to the email software that you use and is installed on your computer, this icon will not work with web based mail, such as YahooMail, Gmail & Hotmail.
4. This is the print icon and will allow you to print the web page you a viewing.
5. Clicking here will give you more options to do with the page you are on, such as email the page to a contact.
6. The safety option allows you to clear all of your browsing history and also allows InPrivate browsing.
7. Tools allows you to set various options in the browser, these seperate items we will look at in a future post.
8. Last but not least is the help icon, click this and you can not only find out about the browser, but also get help when you need it.
