If you use Internet Explorer to access the internet you can customize it to make it more convenient for you to

use. Use the following steps to customize your Internet Explorer Settings:

Step 1

Begin by launching Internet Explorer from the Start menu.

Step 2

In the window that appears on your screen you can begin to customize the various options as follows:

Text size: To customize the size of text go to View which is located on the top tool bar. As you click on this a drop
down menu will appear. Scan down the menu and select the option Text Size. When you select this another
submenu will appear with a list of text sizes from largest to smallest. Choose the text size that you want.

Personalizing the Internet Explorer Bar: From the toolbar at the top click on View - Explorer Bar. A drop down
menu will appear. Select an item from the list that you would like to add to the Explorer Bar area. The Explorer Bar
area is located on the left side of the screen.

Adding Toolbars: From the top IE toolbar click on View and from the drop down menu list choose the option
Toolbars. When you click on the Toolbar option a submenu will appear with a list of the different types of toolbars
that you can use with your IE browser. You can choose more than one. It is also possible to add external toolbars
that are created by other companies. For example, there are toolbars available from Google, Yahoo and various
other social media sites that you can use. To get these extra toolbars you can go to each individual website and
download the toolbars from the site.

Handy tip: If you want to find sites that you have visited recently you can view these from a setting called History.
You can access this feature from the IE toolbar as well. However a faster way of doing this is by pressing on the
arrow at the side of the back button. This will make a list appear of the websites that you have visited recently.
Then, it is just a matter of selecting the website you want and clicking on the link to visit it again.
