For those who still persist in using Internet Explorer (some people will never learn wink.gif ).

It ads some nice features to IE to improve security and some other things. Note, I'll repeat, it improves security, but it doesn't mean IE is completely secure (you can only have that feature when you shutdown windows tongue.gif ).

By the way... a tip from me

But it is limited to only those with BROADBAND!

Broadband users can speed up their browsing and downloading by 20%

How?
Well...

Go to Start> Run, type "gpedit.msc"(without quotes)

Get it..
Now....
In the "Computer Configuration"
goto Administrative Templates>Network>QoS Packet Scheduler...
Now in the window on the left...

Double Clik "Limit Reservable Bandwidth">Enabled>Set value to "0"!
That's it......
You're DONE!!!!!!

Trick One smile.gif Please Dont try this at home lolz
Open control panel icons from Internet Explorer by typing "Control Panel\<name of control panel item>". For example, if you wanted to open the system properties from Control Panel you could type "Control Panel\System".

A Common Trick you should have known tongue.gif
Automatically enter the www. and .com into an Internet Explorer's address by typing the name of the page and pressing CTRL + ENTER on the keyboard. For example, if you type computerhope and then press CTRL + ENTER you will automatically be sent to the proper page.

Another Lame Trick for Power Users lolzz tongue.gif
Disable animated pictures commonly animated GIF pictures in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 by clicking Tools and selecting Internet Options. From Internet Options click the Advanced tab, within this window under Multimedia uncheck the box Play animations in web pages. but you cannot disable flash and java stuff.

Quickly increase and decrease the size of a font on a web page by holding down the CTRL key on the keyboard and scrolling up or down with the wheel on a wheel mouse.
i hope these trick should also work on IE 7..

How you can kill those annoying popups
There's a keyboard shortcut to kill annoying browser pop-ups. You can use either CTRL+W or ALT+F4. The former just drops the popup and the later will shut down the browser instance. Please dont try this at home :)lol

this will display which sites you visit the most with Internet Explorer 6.
Curious abt which websites you visited the most in the last couple of weeks? Unless you have disabled your Internet Explorer 6 history function, you can do the following:

1. Open up Internet Explorer 6.
2. Press CONTROL-H to open up the "History" pane.
3. Click on the "View" pull-down and choose "By Most Visited".

The top site in the list is the most visited website. To see how many times you have visited a particular site, right-click on a site and choose "Properties".
