15 Minute Series What is Microsoft Internet Explorer?


In Summary:

Internet Explorer is a graphical web browser that enables a user to access the World Wide Web and to fully experience the images, colors, sounds and movies that make up the web. In addition, a user may access FTP, Gopher and telnet, as well as newsgroups and e-mail. Internet Explorer is generally easy to use, due to its "point-and-click" capability and its use of toolbars and drop-down menus.

To help a user view or hear certain file types, viewer programs can be launched from within Internet Explorer. Web pages can be added to a "Favorites" file for easy access at a later time. In addition, a user can customize Internet Explorer to meet personal preferences, such as making the default font size bigger.
