Internet Explorer Left Click Menus

With Internet Explorer open you may right click in different areas and get totally different menus.  Each has its own features and can help you accomplish whatever task you may be working on.  Let’s look at two of the most helpful ones on one menu.  

TIP: Right click on a blank area of the web page, (where there is no text, animations, etc), and you will get a long menu starting with a grayed out area at the top showing Back – Forward.  Look down the menu, about halfway, and you will see Create Shortcut. Click on that and you will get a window asking you if you want to place a shortcut on your desktop. If you click yes, a shortcut to this web page will be placed on your desktop and the next time you want to go there all you have to do is click on the shortcut Icon.

The next one is for left handers. On the same menu, about three fourths of the way down, you will see Encoding. When you place your pointer on it you will get a sub-menu. On the sub-menu, at the bottom, click Right-To-Left Document. Notice that the scroll bar jumps to the left side of the screen. This makes navigating the web page easier for some.
