I’ve launched a new website on Internet Explorer. You will find lots of articles, tips, tricks, tweaks, easy to use utilities, tutorials, and updates on the latest version of IE. Even though my intention is to provide the latest information on IE8, I will be adding up information related to the previous versions also.

Visit the website, and leave your valuable feedback.


InPrivate Browsing Experience with IE8

April 3, 2009

InPrivate Browsing is a new feature that I find another intresting and good option in Internet Explorer 8. Netizens now need no worry, while using public computers as this option will not store any kind of user data. It prevents Internet Explorer from storing data about your browsing session, which includes cookies, temporary Internet files, history, and other data.

Any toolbars, or extensions that are enabled will be disabled with this option. I wasn’t able to use Shift, Ctrl, P to capture a screen shot using my sniping software, as the extension is disabled :) quite intresting..

You can either enable, completely disable or choose the sites using the InPrivate Filtering options from the Safety menu button.

Watch out the Viewlet that I’ve created to know how to open a browser in InPrivate mode. [Link]

 To put off this option, simply close the browser.

chkboxHolding Ctrl or Alt key may cause lot of issues and some times creates lots of duplicate copies of your files, when you hold the keys improperly. To avoid this issue, I recommend enabling the Checkboxes option using which you can select the files/folder that you require.

View the Viewlet (an executable that shows the procedure) that I’ve created that explains you the procedure to enable the option.
