    From the [FAQ](http://serverfault.com/faq): Server Fault is for _Information Technology Professionals_ needing expert answers related to managing computer systems in a **professional capacity**. You seem to be asking an end-user question regarding very basic Windows or Internet Explorer functionality. Perhaps you should consider clarifying your question. – Michael Hampton Aug 03 '12 at 03:33
