BLACKROSE ENTERPRISES

‘A FONT FAREWELL‘

If you don’t use the Font button in the Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 toolbar very often, why not save some toolbar space by getting rid of it? Choose View, Internet Options and click the Advanced tab. Scroll down to Toolbar and deselect the Show Font Button check box. Click OK, and the next time you run IE 4, the Font button will not be a part of the toolbar.

You can still modify the font even when the button is gone. All you have to do is choose View, Fonts and make your selection.

‘ THAT URL IS JUST A HOP, SKIP, AND A‘WINDOW AWAY‘

If you have IE 4.0 installed, there’s a great way to jump directly to a Web site—and this time, you won’t have to use the Run command. From any window, replace the current Address, such as My Computer, with your URL of choice. (If you don’t see an Address bar, select View, Toolbars, Address Bar.) For example, you might type

tipworld

to access http://www.tipworld.com (For an address of this format, Windows 95 fills in all the Ws, dots, and so on.) Press Enter and presto! The Web page you were after shows up inside the current window.

CYBERMEDIA OIL CHANGE ERROR‘

IF you’re running Microsoft Internet Explorer and you use the Get command in CyberMedia’s Oil Change, you may get the error:

"A required file, URLMON.DLL was not found."

If this occurs, do a search for the file

URLMON.DLL. If the file is found in Windows 95, add the .BAK extension to get URLMON.DLL.BAK. Next, reinstall Internet Explorer.

KEEP TRACK OF YOURADDRESS BOOK‘

There’s a way to change the location of the Address Book. Yes, there is. However, the only method we know about requires that you edit the Registry. Remember that you can do serious damage to your system if you inadvertently make an error while changing the Registry. It’s a good idea to make copies of your system.dat and user.dat files before you start messing around with the Registry.

When you’re ready to begin, click Start, Run and type

regedit

then click OK or press Enter. When RegEdit opens,

navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\Wab

File Name. In the right pane, you’ll see the current selection. This is where Microsoft Internet Explorer expects to find the Address Book. To change the folder, double-click the file name icon in the RegEdit right pane. When the dialog box opens, enter the name of the new folder. It’s best to retain the original file name—just change the folder. Close RegEdit (Choose Registry, Exit) and restart the computer to enable the change.

Note: Your Address Book must be in the new location. If

no Address Book is there, Mail will create a new empty book.

‘ IS THERE AN UPGRADE‘?

Because Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 is a relatively new product, upgrades

appear at a rather quick pace. The best way to find out if you need an

upgrade on any of the Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 components is to go to
