The following additional quick tips will help you make better use of your Internet Explorer browser.

• To enlarge or decrease the size of text on a Web page, click View >Text Size and select the size you need.
  
  
• To save a favorite site, go to that site, and then click the Favorites icon. Click Add or Add to Favorites, click the folder in which you want to save the site, and then click OK. To rename the site to something that will help you remember what its' about, type the new name in the Name window. To create a new folder in which to organize your Favorites, follow the steps above, but before clicking OK, click New Folder, type a name for your folder in the window, and click OK.
  
  
• You can speed up your Web surfing by deleting some temporary files. (Those are pages the computer automatically saves, but they can slow down performance if your computer is short of memory.) Go to Tools > Internet Options, choose the General tab, and find the Temporary Internet files section. Click Delete files.
  
  
• Separate the good, the bad, and the ugly by using Content Advisor to filter out inappropriate Web sites. (At most schools, you probably already have a filter, but this also is a helpful tool to share with parents.) Go to Tools > Internet Options > Content. In the Content Advisor section, click Enable, and then click Settings. Click and highlight each category, the slider to determine how vigilant you want the filter to be, and then click OK. A window labeled Content Supervisor Password will open. To prevent students (or anyone else) from changing your Content Advisor settings, type a password and click OK.
