Computer aid!?!   - flashback from V1#3 - November 2002
Speeding your surfing
Software: Microsoft Internet Explorer
///////////////////////////////

So many pages/sites you will visit have lots of photos and/or music, etc. (bells & whistles) that they take forever to load.  If you are on a search for text and don't care about photos, music and the like, turn them off to speed your load time.

Here's what you do:  Open Explorer and then click the wrench icon (tools).  Once a box pops up, choose "advanced" options.  This brings up a long list of things you can have work or disabled.  You want to scroll down the list until you find the "multimedia" section.  Several items in this section are checked.  For fastest download, click each checkmark to de-select all "play" options. Next click the "OK" button at the bottom of the box.  To check, hit the refresh button (button with white sheet with 2 green arrows circling each other). Please note that this may be done in reverse to get photos, etc back.  Any type of multimedia you want to see, click the blank box (which will check it), click "OK" and then the refresh button.
