  • IE v.11

    From Jean Parrot@1:123/789 to Holger Granholm on Fri Jan 8 09:22:13 2016

    GM, Sam.

    The quickest way to get IE is to type it in the URL line at the top.

    I forgot a pointer in my message to you, after you get to the File Explorer,
    open the C:\ -> open Windows -> then open Windows.old if it is still there.

    Also, if you open Edge, you might find the option to open IE, it was offered
    to me here on my three machines running W-10. After running it, I right-clicked
    on the icon on the Taskbar and selected to have it placed on it for ever and ever, amen ! Voilà ! Edge is prepositioned on the Taskbar.

    Windows is still the same as before, just dressed up a little and mainly, it
    was converted to smart-phones and tablets and x-Box. All of the old DOS commands still work, eg: I use Alt-F4 to shut down, Ctrl-A, Ctrl-X and ad infinitum. You should be at home with your knowledge of CLIs.

    Days are getting longer already, we have gained 1° so far on the Sun. Another
    22° 26.1' before Spring.

    Be good. de VE2NIC.

    Yes, Windows.old should be there, according to the donor, XMAS gift.

    Also, if you open Edge, you might find the option to open IE, it

    Yeah, Edge is on the task bar.

    Oh well, tnx a million for all the good hints. It's soon time to print
    out them all, and put them to use.

    I have been so busy configuring the "new" BBS machine, that I haven't
    had time to startup the laptop.

    Days are getting longer already, we have gained 1° so far on the
    Sun. Another 22° 26.1' before Spring.

    Yes, here too and winter has arrived with -11° to -15°, and all that
    white stuff that we wished for XMAS, and skiing. Right now it's -9°C
    and more snow is coming down.


    Have a nice day,
