Browsing anonymously
|
|
What with cookies, security leaks and smart scripting, you never quite know how much information is being gathered
about you while you're busily gathering your own information on the Net.
If you'd like to make it harder for people to track you on the Internet, you can use a proxy server which will
keep your identity hidden from cookies and other site snooping code. Just set your start/homepage to www.iproxy.com.
You can read all about the ins and outs of proxy servers at www.iproxy.com/faq.html.

| Modifying the Taskbar |
July 18th 1999
|
|
The Taskbar provides quick access to Communicator's components. If its floating, right-click the Taskbar to select
horizontal or vertical orientation or to keep the Taskbar always on top of other windows. Clicking the Close box
in the right-hand corner will, in fact, drop it down into the right-hand end of Navigator's window, where it occupies
less screen real estate. You can return it to its floating state by clicking the corrugated button at the left-hand
end.

Hard disk links
|
|
When using Composer to create a Web page, you can create a link to any HTML file on your hard disk by dragging
the file from your Desktop or Windows Explorer into Composer. Composer not only inserts a link, but also places
a copy of the file in the same folder as the Web page you're designing so that your links will work when you publish
the file to a Web server. |
