Accessing
the Internet in no time flat!
If you're on a network that's patched directly to the Internet, you probably
keep Internet Explorer minimized on your taskbar all
day long so you can quickly and easily access the Web when you need something.
However, the whole time that Internet Explorer is running in the background, it's using valuable system resources that could be
put to better use enhancing the performance of other tasks, such as calculating spreadsheet formulas in Excel.
A better solution to quickly accessing the Internet is to create an Address
toolbar. You can do this by right-clicking on the
taskbar and choosing Toolbars | Address from the context menu. Then, move the
Address toolbar to the top of your desktop and
configure it to use the Auto Hide and Always On Top features. Now, when you need
to access the Internet, just move your cursor
to the top of the screen and when the Address toolbar appears, type in the
address. When you do, Internet Explorer launches and connects to the requested site.
