Accessing Graphic and Sound Files:
You may want to access image or sound files composed in formats which
are not supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer itself. You can find several
graphic viewer and sound player helper applications at the following sites:
http://www.tucows.com or http://cws.iworld.com/

Adding bookmarks:
When you find a page on the Internet you think you might want to look
at again later, you can "bookmark" it. Using Microsoft Internet Explorer,
select “Add Page to Favorites” from the Favorites menu. The name of the
page will then appear at the bottom of the “Favorites” pull-down menu.
If you do this a lot, you will soon end up with a long list of bookmarks.
Your browser allows grouping and indexing, so cataloging them is easy.
You can even trade bookmark/favorite files with friends.

How can I speed up browsing?
Graphics, sounds, and animations can take a while to download, especially
if you have a relatively slow modem. You can shorten the time it takes
to display a page by preventing Microsoft Internet Explorer from downloading
these items. To speed up browsing, click the View menu, and then click
Options. In the General tab there is a check box for each item you want
to disable.

How can I stop sounds and animations from playing?
To interrupt sounds and animations while they are playing, press the
“ESC” key, or click the “Stop” button on the toolbar. To stop sounds and
animations while you are browsing, do the following: On the “View” menu,
click “Options”, then click the “General” tab. Make sure the “Play Sounds”
and “Show Animations” boxes are not checked.
