Smart Computing Tip
IE 8 Tabs
Did you just close Internet Explorer 8 when you meant only to close a tab?
Oops. Tabbed browsing can be a hazard if the wrong settings are in place. First,
don’t despair. As soon as you recognize the error, restart IE and, in the Tools
menu, click Reopen Last Browser Session. In many cases, this will save your set
of open tabs on the last IE window you had open. To keep this from happening
again, use the Tools menu to access Internet Options. In the Tabs section on the
General tab, click Settings. Checkmark the Warn Me When Closing Multiple Tabs
box.
Save The Page
If you’re using Internet Explorer and you come across a Web page with
information you want to preserve, there are two good ways to keep the
information without having to use a Web browser to bring it back up. The first
and simplest way is to print it; it never hurts to have a hard copy of
information you need. Another method is to save the Web page as an .MHT
(Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) file, which is essentially just a
snapshot of the page. In this format you can send the page to others or
double-click on it to open it directly. To make a .MHT file from a Web page,
click File (press the ALT key to reveal the File menu if you don’t see it),
click Save As, and in the dialog box be sure to select the .MHT file type. Tell
the computer where to put the file and click Save. Customize The Win7 Start Button
