New Update

This new version of Internet Explorer has many enhancements

over the previous one. You can download it from www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/download. The

Website checks the current version of Internet Explorer running on your desktop, and

prompts you for an upgrade. Here’s a glimpse of some of its new features in href="ie5.pdf">pdf format. Install Acrobat Reader from href="http://www.adobe.com/acrobat">here.

Improved search COLOR="#000000">

IE 5 divides your search into several categories. It has a

wizard to help you find e-mail, street addresses, Websites, and places. It also has an

advanced search facility to find specific articles from an encyclopedia, or search a

newsgroup for a particular topic.

You can mark specific Web pages to be made available

offline in your favorites folder and schedule updates for them. You can also select the

content you want offline from a particular Web page. What’s really new is: you can

save all the contents of the Web page, graphics, etc, onto another directory on your hard

disk for later viewing.

AutoComplete COLOR="#000000">

This feature works with the browser, the Windows explorer,

and the Start menu Run command. If you enable this feature, then IE 5 will remember your

keystrokes so that next time you want to go to the same location, it’ll automatically

fill the complete path after you punch in a few initial keys. You can also optionally

enable this for remembering passwords. So next time you go to a particular site that

requires a password, it’ll automatically place it there the moment you enter your

username. But beware, this feature can also auto-complete your password for someone else.

Multiple connections COLOR="#000000">

The browser gives you the option of adding multiple dial-up

connections. It has an Internet connection wizard that lets you specify whether

you’ll be accessing the Net using a modem, or through your LAN. In dial-up, you can

define multiple dial-up settings if you’re using more than one Internet account.
