Make Internet Explorer run faster


                          The web is a sparkling achievement of modern society. It's everywhere—from the home to the classroom. We use it to communicate, to work, to play—even to waste time, when there's not a lot to do.

            Yet there's nothing more frustrating than having this technical marvel at our fingertips 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, only to wait as our computers access the Internet at a crawling pace. Thankfully, Windows Internet Explorer provides some useful options for quicker web surfing. Let's look at these options now.


Reduce the size of your web page history:

           
            Internet Explorer stores visited webpages to your computer, organizing them within a page history by day. Although it's useful to keep a couple days of web history within your computer, there's no need to store more than a week's worth. Any more than that and you're collecting webpages that will slow down your computer's performance.

To reduce your webpage history:

1.      In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2.      In the General tab, under Browsing history, click Settings.
3.      Under History, find the Days to keep pages in history: box. In the box, type 1. Click OK.
