Customize the Internet Explorer 6 Toolbar

You can choose which features you want on the Internet Explorer 6 toolbar. If you want to simplify the toolbar, you can remove icons, change to smaller icons, or remove the text labels displayed next to the icons.

• In the Text options list, click No text labels to remove them.
• In the Icon options list, click Small icons to change the default setting.
• In the Current toolbars list, click any icon that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
• To keep your changes safe, right-click the toolbar again, and make sure to select the Lock Toolbars check box.

Change Web Page Font Size on the Fly

If your mouse contains a wheel for scrolling, you can change font size on the fly when viewing a Web page.

• Press and hold Ctrl.
• Scroll down (or towards yourself) to enlarge the font size.
• Scroll up (or away from yourself) to reduce the font size.
You might find it useful to reduce font size when printing a Web page, so that you can fit more content on the page.

Use AutoComplete to Enter Addresses Faster in Internet Explorer 6

The AutoComplete feature in Internet Explorer 6 can fill in the prefix and suffix of Web addresses so all you must enter is the name.

• Just type the name in the address bar and hold down the Control key while you press Enter. Internet Explorer 6 automatically adds the http:// and the www. and the .com.

For example, click in Address bar and type MSN, and then hold down the Control key and press Enter. Internet Explorer 6 will go to the address http://www.msn.com
