Internet Explorer & Dial Up Networking Tips

BROWSE IN A NEW PROCESS

Sometimes you're browsing the internet and something happens to cause your browser to crash, and then suddenly Windows has gone up in flames also. But if you have Internet Explorer 4.0, there is a way which might keep this from happening. What you have to do is click on the View menu, then the option for Internet Options, and then click to put a check mark in the "Browse in a new process" box in the Browser section of the dialog box. This causes Internet Explorer to do its thing as if it were a separate function from all the other things that are taking place in the background in Windows, so that if your browser crashes, you may keep it from crashing Windows at the same time.
