IE6 tips 27

1, Accelerate IE
Internet Explorer is a Web browser designed by Microsoft. It is said that 80% to 90% of Internet users use it all over the world. If you belong to one of these users, this article provides you with a big dinner. 27 tips, tips, and shortcuts are collected here. They allow you to use your browser as you like, helping you increase productivity, save system resources, customize your browser, and use secrets that Microsoft has never disclosed! But before the official start, this article has solemnly warned: We recommend that you back up the Registry file first. In this way, once IE or Windows is damaged due to incorrect Registry Modification, you can restore the system to normal in just a few minutes.
▲Start ie now
The following is a method for indirectly starting ie: click "start", select "run", enter the URL in the "open" input box, and then confirm. The system automatically starts the browser and opens the specified web address.
To quickly start Outlook Express, click the start button, select Run, enter mailto: plus the recipient's email address, for example, mailto: billg@microsoft.com ".
▲Quick start of ie6.0
If you are not satisfied with the slow startup speed of IE 6.0, use a shortcut to start IE 6.0. Set the shortcut to "D: Program filesinternet ‑eriexplore. EXE"-nohome (including quotation marks ). Starting IE 6.0 in this way is much faster than opening the "about: blank" page. However, if your IE is not in the "D: Program filesinternet Explorer" directory, change the shortcut to the correct location.
▲Enter URL quickly
When entering the website address in the IE address bar, you can enter all your own addresses, such as www.somesite.com, or ask IE to complete some work for you. You only need to enter the domain name (the somesite here) and press Ctrl-Enter. ie will automatically add the WWW and. com parts correctly for you. However, this method also has disadvantages. It does not apply to other suffixes. If you press ENTER instead of Ctrl-enter after entering the domain name, ie will automatically search for the words you entered on the web.
▲Switching graphics download options
With the increasing speed of the network and the decreasing cost of Internet access, people gradually forget that the Internet is still very crowded and busy. Pages with many images, animations, and video clips are still hard to open slowly. No one may think that it is necessary to disable multimedia options for all browsers, but it is still useful to temporarily switch the image download options for browsers.
First, let's look at the complicated practice: in IE, select "tools/Internet Options", click the "advanced" Page, scroll down until you find the "Multimedia" section, cancel all unwanted options. When using this method, in addition to restoring the default option settings, you will have a patient choice.
The following is a better method: Visit Microsoft's Internet Explorer website and download IE 6.0 web attachments (Web accessories for IE 6 ).
The downloaded package contains an image toggler ). After image toggler is installed, an image toggler icon is added to the IE link toolbar. This linked Toolbar may be rarely used by anyone. Fortunately, we only need to use it once: Right-click the toolbar of IE and select "Link" to open the linked toolbar, find the image toggler icon and right-click it and drag it to the task bar. Now the image toggler icon can be easily accessed. You can close the toolbar. After that, when you encounter a large number of graphics and animation pages, you only need to click the image toggler button on the job bar, but sometimes you may need to press F5 to refresh.
2, Automatic completion
▲Automatic Acceleration
When you enter the first few letters of the web address in the IE address bar, you will see a drop-down list box showing various addresses that match the entered letters. If the complete URL of the target address is displayed in the list box, you only need to use the keyboard's down arrow to select the address, and then press Enter.
However, if the automatically completed drop-down list box contains hundreds of addresses, the list box may not be displayed even after a long pause. The solution is to adjust the number of days for saving the IE address.
The adjustment method is as follows: Select the "tools/Internet Options" menu of IE, click the "General" page, and adjust the "days in which the web page is saved in the history ", make it less than a month (of course, the less the better ). If you are worried that some important page addresses will be lost due to the limited number of days, you may wish to add those important pages to favorites.
▲Auto Scaling
For websites you have browsed before, you only need to enter an incomplete URL in the address bar of IE, and the automatic completion function of the browser will automatically complete the remaining parts. However, by default, the auto-completion function only searches for addresses with. com,. org, And. edu suffixes.
You can edit the registry so that the automatic completion function is equally effective for URLs with. gov and. Net suffixes. Start the Registry Editor and find hkey_local_machinesoftwaremicrosoftinternet assumermainurltemplate. Here, you can find six key-value pairs, as shown below: 1 "www. % s.com "2" www. % s.edu "3" www. % s.org "4" % s.com "5" % s.edu "6" % s.org ". (If you are using Windows 2000, these key-value pairs are stored in hkey_local _
Machinesoftwaremicrosoftinternetexplorermainurltemplate can also be found .) Select "Edit/New/string value" and add the following key-value pairs: 7 "www. % s.net "8" www. % s.gov "9" % s.net "10" % s.gov ".
Clear automatically completed forms and passwords
It is no longer a stranger to this: If cookies are enabled and automatically completed, personal privacy will face the risk of leakage. For example, if other people can use your system, they can log on to the online store website and purchase things with a credit card account saved in the file. Therefore, if your PC is shared, taking necessary security measures is indispensable.
The following instructions are provided only for readers who share PCs with others. Automatic completion is a very convenient function, so do not close it unless you think it is necessary. The details are as follows:
-> Select "tools/Internet Options ".
-> Click "content.
-> Click "auto complete.
-> Cancel all potentially dangerous options (Automatic completion applies to: Web addresses, forms, and form usernames and passwords ).
-> Next, click "clear form" and "Clear password" to clear the identity information of all individuals.
3, IE appearance
▲Customize the favorites icon
When you add web sites to your IE favorites, do you find that some websites have different icons? In fact, you can do this easily. All you have to do is put an icon file under the root directory of the web site.
First, use your favorite graphic editing software to create a 16x16 bitmap icon, name it favicon. ICO, and put the file under the top-level directory of the web site. If everything works, ie will automatically detect this icon when you add this website to favorites. The website www.favicon.com provides a Java applet that helps you quickly create your own icons.
▲Print Date and Time
When printing web pages, you can let the browser output date and time information. In IE, select "file/page settings" in the menu, or open the corresponding settings window if you use Netscape Navigator. IE allows us to output the date and time information to the header or footer. You must enter an appropriate field in the header or footer field. Code . For example, if you require both date and time, select an input box and enter "& D & T ". If "& D" and "& T" are embedded with several spaces, there will be a certain distance between the date and time in the printed page. In navigator, select "date printed" under footer, and the output page contains date and time information.
▲Print background
If you want to display the printed web pages exactly the same as those displayed in the browser and contain the background color, you can enable background printing. In IE 6.0, select "tools/Internet Options/advanced", scroll down to "print", select "print background color and image", and click "OK ". However, it must be noted that printing the background not only slows down the printing speed, but also makes the page text blurred if the printer you are using is not colored.
▲Select font
By setting IE 6.0 to make it always use the specified font style, you can make IE 5.5 ignore the default font used on Web pages. Select "tools/Internet Options/General" in the menu, click "font", and select your favorite font and size. In the close dialog box, click "auxiliary functions" and select "do not use the font style specified on the Web page" and "do not use the font size specified on the Web page.
4, IE Subsystem
▲Upgrade Java
Java is sometimes very demanding on the environment. You can open different websites in a browser. Program It can run normally, but some cannot. If you have encountered this problem, download the latest Java VM ). Java virtual machine is an environment that supports Java program running on Web pages. It can be downloaded from Microsoft's Java website. After installing the latest Java virtual machine, open the websites that have encountered problems and check whether the problem has been solved.
If the Java Applet on those websites still cannot be normally displayed, select "tools/Internet Options" in the IE menu, select the "advanced" page, and click "Enable Java JIT compiler ". After this option is modified, the system needs to be restarted. However, if the operating system is Windows 2000, you only need to close the browser and re-open it.
▲Ie 6.0
IE 6.0 provides a new Repair Tool. To use this tool, start "Add/delete programs" from the control panel, click "Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5" in the "Install/Delete" window, and then click "change/Delete ". In the following dialog box, select "repair the current Internet installation" and click "OK ".
▲Multi-language support
WWW is World Wide Web. Because it is a world-wide network, the content we see on the Internet cannot all be Chinese. If you often want to access a foreign language website, you should set up a browser to support various texts. In IE 6.0, select "tools/Internet Options" to go to the "General" Page and click "language. Click "add" and select the language you want your browser to support from the list. Software packages in some languages may require additional installation.
▲Content Review
If you share a PC with an Internet connection, you must understand your responsibilities, especially when a minor uses this machine. To control who can access the content through a browser, open the IE menu "tools/Internet Options", select "content", and click "enable" under "hierarchical review ", then, set as prompted.
Remove URLs that do not want to be retained
When you enter a URL in the address bar of your browser, the URL will be automatically added to the access history list. You only need to click the arrow on the right of the address bar, and the drop-down list will be displayed. You can delete the URLs listed in the address bar drop-down list by starting the Registry Editor, finding hkey_usersdefasoftsoftwaremicrosoftinternetexplorertypedurls, and then deleting those URLs that you don't want others to see.
In Windows 2000, the primary key of the registry should be changed to hkey_current_usersoftwaremicrosoftinternet assumertypedurls.
▲Long URL internal navigation
Editing an address in the address bar is often troublesome, but Ie can help us simplify the operation. First, make sure that the cursor is in the address bar, and then you can use Ctrl + left arrow and CTRL + right arrow to move between different regions of the URL. The boundary symbols of each region of the URL are periods and slashes.
▲Change the location of favorites
You can change the location of favorites by modifying the registry. Start Registry Editor regedit and find the primary key hkey_current _
Usersoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversionjavaseruser Shell Folders and Shell Folders under the same branch. However, they change their favorites keys to new favorites. Note that two single slashes should be used to replace one single slashes when entering the directory, for example, C: mynewfav.
5, Save
Disable password caching
The IE browser can remember the password you used to log on to each website. When you return to the website, the browser will automatically enter the password. To disable the password cache function, open the Registry Editor and find hkey_current_usersoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversioninternet settings. Right-click the blank area on the left and choose "New/double byte value" from the menu ", the new value is disablepasswordcaching, and its value is 0x00000001.
▲Save the complete Web Page
When you save a Web page, you actually save its HTML code. images and other page elements will be stored on the original website. However, Internet Explorer 6.0 allows us to save a complete web page, including images. Select "Save as..." from the "file" menu of IE 6.0, and then select "webpage, all (*. htm, *. html)" from the "Save type" list box )". When you save a web page in this way, the images in the page are saved to the corresponding directory. If the page file is deleted, the directory is also deleted.
6, Special usage
▲Hide MSN Messenger
According to the typical Microsoft enterprising and expansion style, anyone who adds Hotmail to the account list of Outlook Express also installs Microsoft's instant messaging program MSN Messenger. To prevent too many programs from occupying system resources and avoid unnecessary icons occupying the system tray area, you have two options. The first is to completely delete MSN Messenger through the "Add/Delete" function in the control panel. However, before deleting MSN Messenger, you must consider that some friends prefer to use messenger. Considering these users, you 'd better adopt the second method: Keep the MSN Messenger program, but disable it from automatically running every time Outlook Express is started. In Outlook Express, select "tools/MSN Messenger/options", click the preferences page, and set as prompted.
▲Hide the address bar
Like most IE users, you may like to keep the largest browsing space and hide all kinds of toolbar, enable small icons, or close button text labels. If you want to set aside more space, you can hide the address bar (right-click any toolbar and deselect "Address Bar"). If you want to enter a URL later, press Ctrl + O to open the "open" dialog box of the input URL.
▲Full Screen mode vs. Window Mode
In IE, you can press the F11 key to switch the browsing mode from the full screen to the window.
▲Set the HTML editor
When you click "edit" on the IE Toolbar, the current page is displayed in the default HTML editor. However, not all HTML editors provide the same functions, and not all HTML editors register themselves in IE.
To view which editors are approved by IE, select "tools/Internet Options" in the menu, and then click the "program" page, click the drop-down list box next to the "HTML editor" to view all currently registered HTML editors, such as Word and notepad, which are the most common editors.
If the HTML editor you are using is not in this list, the following method adds it to this list:
-> Click "start" and execute Regedit in the "open" input box.
-> In the Registry Editor, find hkey_users.defasoftsoftwaremicrosoftinternet assumerdefault HTML editor.
-> Extend the entire branch under the default HTML editor.
-> Click the command icon.
-> Click "default" in the right pane of Registry Editor"
-> Delete the program name and path in the quotation marks, but leave "% 1 ".
-> Before "% 1", enter the full path of the HTML editor and the name of the execution file. For example, homesite does not register itself to the beta version of IE 6.0, so the content we enter here is "C: Program filesallairehomesite 4.5homesite45.exe" "% 1"
7, Auxiliary Program
▲Fast and simple FTP
Now that IE supports drag-and-drop FTP, you may think that you can throw your old WS_FTP and CuteFTP out of the door. But don't worry too much, because the FTP function of IE still lacks many important features. However, as a basic download tool, FTP support for IE is still outstanding.
Suppose you want to upload the latest photos of your child to the website. Enter an FTP address (for example, ftp.winzip.com, you do not need to enter the "ftp: //" section). You can see that the icon on the Windows Task Bar of ie becomes a folder with a small Earth. Maybe you still don't know, this folder can also be used as a normal folder, you can drag the files in this folder to the folder or desktop in the hard disk.
However, if you want to perform FTP access to a password-protected website, you must add an additional step. By default, Internet Explorer assumes that the username used to access the FTP website is anonymous. All open ftp websites allow anonymous access. For websites protected by passwords, anonymous is no longer valid. You must provide the real username and password by selecting "file/login... "menu, and then fill in the necessary information to log on. Unfortunately, ie has a bug (or feature)-it does not remember the user's name between two sessions, so you must repeat the login process each time you access the FTP website.
Note: if you cannot open the directory of the FTP website as a folder, you may need to enable this function first. In IE, select "tools/Internet Options" from the menu, scroll down until you find "Browse", and select "enable folder view for FTP site ".
