Speed up your browsing by removing images from Web pages!

 During most of the time you spend on the Internet, you probably welcome the addition of graphic elements, such as digital photographs. However, if your Internet connection is bogged down and your browsing speed is frustratingly sluggish, you can speed things up considerably (even if it's only temporarily) by eliminating pictures from your view.

To do this, in Internet Explorer, choose Tools | Internet Options, and then select the Advanced tab in the Internet Options dialog box. Scroll down within the Settings window until you see the Multimedia category. Then, deselect the Show Pictures check box, click Apply, and then click OK to close the dialog box. Now when you open the next Web page, it loads much faster but without any pictures. If you want to return to a graphically rich cyberspace, simply replace the check mark for the appropriate option in the Internet Options dialog box.
