How to hide pictures in IE




Internet Explorer's default behavior is to display images whenever they are part of a web page (as long as the corresponding image files are on the web server). This makes for a richer internet surfing experience, but can sometimes be a drag when either your internet connection is slow, or when the web server in question (the online computer where the website is hosted) is itself slow. One easy way to speed up your internet connectivity with Internet Explorer is simply to (temporarily) disable and hide images from web pages.

  • Open Internet Explorer
  • Click on Tools>Internet Option> Advanced
  • Scroll down till "Multimedia",

How to add bookmark in IE




When you find a website that you want to revisit, it's a good idea to bookmark it for future use. It's easy to bookmark a page, and building your Favorites list can make browsing the internet very easy.

Steps to Follow



  • Visit the website that you want to bookmark by typing the URL in your web browser's address bar
  • Once at the site, navigate to the top of your browser, just underneath the address bar on the far left-hand side. You should see a yellow star, and a second yellow star with a green plus sign. Click the star with the plus sign, and a menu bar will pop up.

How to Work Offline in IE8





There are times when you need to view the content of a website while your computer is not connected to the internet. To do that, you need to Work Offline. This tutorial shows how to do this in Internet Explorer 8.On Internet Explorer's File menu is a "Work Offline" item that toggles Internet Explorer between online and offline modes of operation. 
When Internet Explorer is set to the offline mode, clicking on hyperlinks and updating channels that refer to online content causes a dialog box to appear asking if Internet Explorer should connect to the network to download the requested content. If the connection is made, Internet Explorer will automatically change from offline mode to online mode for the remainder of the session or until you reselect Work Offline.

Steps to Follow

How to change the language settings in Internet Explorer




You can choose your preferred language in your browser's settings. You can even choose multiple languages. These settings are used by many websites to automatically display webpages in your preferred languages. This site, for instance, looks to welcome visitors in any of over 100 languages.
One of the reasons for this is that, of those people who speak English, only one quarter of them do so as first language. That three quarters of those who speak English understand other languages better, is increasing leading to websites providing content in multiple languages.


To change the language setting in Internet Explorer follows this procedure

  • Open Internet Explorer
  • Click on the Tools menu
  • Click Internet Options

Set IE to Not Print Web Site Backgrounds and Colors




In an effort to save on ink, Internet Explorer will by default not print the background color and background picture of a web page. It will also print from websites in black and white, but this is a setting you can change from the Print dialog itself, without having to modify your current Internet Explorer print settings. As far as printing background color and image goes though, you do need to customize your internet options, and we'll explain how to proceed in this article - only a couple of clicks allow you to print web pages in their full colors!

Steps To Follow

  • Open the IE
  • Go to Tools

Optimize Internet Explorer - IE Care



IE Care is an easy to use tool for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. It offers repairing and cleaning functionality, and a so called IE security shield as an additional feature, but more about that later.

The program displays three tabs in the main interface on startup that lead to Repair, Cleaning And Security related settings.

Both the repair and cleaning section display various items with checkboxes for easy selection. The repair options for instance include fixing the Internet Explorer homepage, restoring the IE search engine, restoring the context menu in the Windows Shell or repairing the source option under the view menu.

Each option can be selected separately, and IE Care will furthermore auto check entries that it believes are in need of repair.
