To
copy a graphic off of a web page,
right-click on the graphic and choose "Save Image As". A dialog
box will open, prompting you for a location to save the file. Beware
of copying copyrighted or otherwise protected images, however.
To
use a webpage graphic as desktop wallpaper, right-click on the graphic
and choose "Set As Wallpaper". The image will now appear as
a repeated tile all across your desktop. You don't need to worry as
much about copyright in this case, as long as the wallpaper is only
for personal use. Back to Top

To
put a picture of a web page into another file or an email, navigate
to the page you want and hit "Print Screen". Then place your
cursor in the file or email, in the location where you want the web
page picture to appear, and select "Edit - Paste" from the
main menu. If your file or email application doesn't have an "Edit
- Paste" option, try hitting <Ctrl><V>; this is a fairly
universal program command for 'paste'. If this doesn't work, your file
or email is in a program that can't support graphics. Back

To
adjust your History settings, in Netscape 4.0 select "Edit
- Preferences" and enter your settings in the dialog box. In Internet
Explorer 5.0, select "Tools - Internet Options" and click
the "General" tab, then enter your settings in the History
area. Remember that if you choose to "Clear History" in either
browser, the history file will be cleared but your bookmarks will remain
in place. Back to Top
