2. Right-Click your connection and choose Properties.
3. On the Server Types Tab, under Advanced Options, make sure that the check-box for Log on to network is un checked.
4. Under Allowed network protocols select only TCP/IP

Printing Web pages

Internet Explorer 4 offers improved printing power, specially for framed pages. You can now print frames:

• As laid out on screen
• Only the selected frame
• All frames individually

You also have the capability to print the pages that are linked to the page you are printing, and/or printing a table of all the links found on a Web page.

Some things to remember:

1. If you only want to print one frame from a page, click an empty spot inside the frame you want to print and on the menu-bar press the Print icon.
2. If you want to print all pages that are linked to the page you are printing, select the Print all linked documents check box.
   Note: This option is not available if you choose to print all frames as laid out on the screen.
3. If you want to print a table of all links on the page you are printing, select the Print table of links check box.
   Note: This option is not available if you choose to print all frames as laid out on the screen.

AutoComplete URL's

A new feature called AutoComplete fills in URLs you've recently typed, based on the first few letters you enter in the Address Bar. But if you are tired of waiting for AutoComplete to guess which site you are looking for, just type a few letters until AutoComplete makes its first guess, then press the up or down arrow key to cycle through recent URLs that begin with the characters you typed. Or hold down the Ctrl key while using the mouse to pick a URL from the drop-down-box.

You can switch this feature on/off:

1. Select Internet Options from the View menu
2. Select the Advanced tab
3. Under the header Browsing check (or uncheck) Use AutoComplete

Open Link in New Window

The more experienced Web Surfers would have recognized this title and know you can find it by right-clicking a link and choosing Open in New Window from the menu. But now there is a faster way:

Hold down the Shift key, then click any link with the left mouse button. A new Internet Explorer 4 browser window pops up (with the Web page for the link).

Remove Channel Bar from your Desktop

You can remove the Channel Bar from your Desktop by right-clicking an empty space on the desktop, and from the context menu select Properties. Select the Web tab and uncheck Internet Explorer Channel Bar.
