| Ask The Help Desk – Where is the “Help” Button on Internet Explorer 7?
Question: I recently replaced my Internet Explorer 6 with the newer Internet Explorer 7 browser. In looking at the Internet Explorer 7 browser, I can't find the "Help" button. What happened to it?
Answer: In an effort to free up space on the browser window, Microsoft Corp. hid the "Help" button on Internet Explorer 7. (Internet Explorer 7 does not have a menu bar by default, which is where "Help" is found in Internet Explorer 6.) To find the "Help" button, whether you are using Windows XP Home Edition or Windows Vista Home Premium as your operating system, follow these steps:
1. Launch your Internet Explorer 7 browser.
2. Click your cursor arrow on the two right-pointing arrows located to the far right of the icons on the browser's toolbar. (The arrows will be found on the very far right of your screen.)
3. Click on "Help" from the resulting menu screen. Selecting "Internet Explorer Tour" from the resulting submenu will provide helpful information about your new browser.
Short Tutorial - Erasing Your Private Information From a Public Computer
When sharing a computer at a public location (i.e. a hotel lobby or a library), it's a good idea to remove the history, cache, and temporary files from the computer before closing your surfing session. Leaving the information on the computer opens the door later for others to access your private information. Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer, Macintosh's Safari, and Mozilla's Firefox browsers each provide a solution for erasing your sensitive information upon the completion of your Internet session.
