Happy New Year to all from elscomm. Hope the festive season had a good effect on you. We'll start the year off with taking control of your homepage in Internet Explorer. Some of you know how to do this, other have forgotten and the rest of you don't know. For those of you who don't know, a homepage in Internet Explorer is the web page that displays when you open Internet Explorer. Many people have Google as their home page and others might have the news like Sydney Morning Herald as their homepage. As a matter of fact you could have multiple home pages in Internet Explorer 7. What this means is when you open Internet Explorer you will have each page you specify as your homepage in a tab form. What's a tab you ask? Inside Internet Explorer 7, when you have multiple web pages open they will display as tabs and you can click between them. (We’ll cover that in the next article) Here's how you change your webpage: (commands apply to Windows XP and Windows Vista) 1. Click on Start 2. Click on Run 3. Type inetcpl.cpl and click OK 4. This will bring up the Internet Properties box. 5. The first section titled "Home Page" has a white box where you can type the URL (web address) of the website you want to make as your home page. If you want multiple homepages all you need to do is add each URL on a separate line. Note: If you do not have the option to add multiple URLs then you are more than likely running a prior version of Internet Explorer. You can go to this site to update to Internet Explorer 7 (free upgrade) Download Internet Explorer 7 6. When done click on the OK button at the bottom of the Internet Properties box. 7. Close Internet Explorer if you have it open and open it again. You should now see your new homepage(s) That's the tip for this week! For those of you who are clients of elscomm you'll be pleased to know that we have a number of new technologies we are implementing to make your experience with us that much better and more professional. Such as being able to connect to your computer remotely weather you are in Australia or anywhere else in the world and solve your computer problems - while you watch as we do it!
