Tab Browser Tip

In the newer versions of Internet Explorer, FireFox, and other Tab Browsers, windows are now opened within Tabs.

Not everyone I know has converted to Tab Browsers and even if they have, they still may not use the Tabs.  The Tabs help run windows more efficiently and thus, users can browse the Internet a bit faster.

But, what if you open a lot of Tabs and then only need to use one?  It can be tedious to close each individual Tab by clicking on the "X" in the upper right corner of each Tab.

However, there is a MUCH easier way!

Simply right-click on the Tab you wish to retain.  On the shortcut menu that opens, select the "Close Other Tabs" option.

All other Tabs are closed and the only remaining Tab is the Tab in which you right-clicked.

It's that simple!

Clear History in Internet Explorer

Simply put, History Adds Up! If you surf the net on a regular basis and do not Clear your History, you will create a HUGE History File; thus, making it difficult to find pages, not to mention the hard drive space you could be taking. You should NOT use your History as a way of finding Internet pages, use the Favorites instead.

On a regular basis (at the very least, monthly), you need to follow these steps:

Open Internet Explorer.

Choose Tools Internet Options.

In the Internet Options Window, simply click "Delete" in the Browsing History area. Depending on how long it has been since you last performed this option, this may take a few minutes.

Once completed, click the OK button to exit the Internet Options Window.
