Using Internet Explorer


Internet Explorer (IE) is a very easy program to use. To launch IE, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Start button to display the Start menu.

  2. Select Internet (at the very upper-left part of the menu).

Figure 22.1 shows the various parts of the IE program, and Table 22.1 tells you what each of the buttons on the toolbar does.
