Introduction:
Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) has become the overwhelming standard for browsing web pages online. All Windows-based computers come pre-installed with Internet Explorer, and versions appear on other platforms. This prevalence (along with speed, stability, and ease of use) is what has led to IE being the preferred web browser for both creators and users of the world wide web.

Opening Microsoft Internet Explorer:
Start >> Programs >> Internet Explorer, or look for the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop or quick launch.

Basic Layout of Program:
- The "File" menu contains selections such as saving, closing, and printing.
- The "Edit" menu contains selections such as copying, pasting, and finding text.
- The "View" menu contains selections such as changing the toolbars available, changing the size of text onscreen, refreshing the current page, etc.
- The "Favorites" menu contains a list of "bookmarked" pages, and options to actually bookmark pages.
- The "Tools" menu contains selections such as reading mail, and changing advanced options within the program.
- The "Help" menu contains various selections for seeking help with the program.
