Maso
Just some help to find the file on the net plus more
------------------------------------------------
This is what it looks like when you have the file in place and running
http://www.csus.edu/saclink/faq/toggle.stm
-------------------------------------
Plus a spot to get the file see below
Installation Notes for IE5 Power Toys
Download the IE5wa.exe (web accessories) file from the Microsoft website http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/webaccess/default.asp.
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder where IE5wa.exe was downloaded select
the file and press Enter you will be asked to confirm that you want to install and
when installation is complete another message appears.
Upon installation the QuickSearch and the Image Toggler utilities are installed as
.exe files and although they can be reached with the mouse are not accessible from
the keyboard (probably due to a bug in Explorer 5). To remedy this situation and
make these options available in the Favourites menu follow the procedure below;
Open Windows Explorer
Navigate to the following folder C:\windows\Favorites\Links
Copy the files Quick Search.exe and Toggle Images.exe
Paste the files in the folder C:\windows\Favorites.
Close Windows Explorer
Depending on how Internet Explorer 5 was set-up there is one change that makes the
Quick Search run better. Without this alteration IE5 will run its own searches which
do not have the same power.
Open Internet Explorer Press alt + T to go to the Tools Menu Press O to into Internet
Options Use control + tab until you get to the "Advanced" Property Sheet Press S
until you reach the "Search from the Address bar" section. Select the "Do not search
from the Address bar" radio button Tab to the OK button and press Enter to get back
to Internet Explorer.
------------------------------------------
Just a Note ****
Most spyware/virus programs are setup to see IE running and hook on to it.
If you run FireFox browser it will help and it comes with a popup blocker and you
can turn off Java/Javscripts
with one mouse click,and it's FREE
and you can stop the images from loading up with one click,and that's makes your
browser
run faster (your Internet connection faster) about 2 to 3 times faster..but not downloads..
Download from:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
