Opening new windows of browsers IE and NSNavigator tend to eat more memory. That will delay its load-up time as the swap file goes to work.
If you find yorself opening three or four sites at once regularly, then you should get Netcaptor. It works as an addition to IE, but has more features, such as being able to open new browser windows while each are contained in the same one browser. It will never cause your computer to crash, unless you encounter a very sloppily-made or malicious web page. I am using it right now, and have currently 9 windows opened.
Then there is Opera, with the feature built-in.
Dropzone, you can auto-arrange them. You click on ‘favorites’ button in the first menu bar, the one with ‘file’, ‘edit’, etc. When the drop down menu opens, right click anywhere in that, another menu will drop down, and select ‘sort by name’.
Well well…it looks like I helped to fight a tiny bit of ignorance tonight, and you’re welcome.
What I hate is that it monopolizes resources. As in it’s ‘integrated’ with windows 98. It got so bad I couldn’t change my desktop because netscape wasn’t willing to relinquish the ‘internet picture’ or whatever it was. It was a problem from the first that I noticed (god forbid some asshole should make my desktop a porn picture that forever appears at every startup and shut down). basically, IE will put the picture set from the internet as wallpaper and then anything else you decid you like it will put on top of that, not change the picture, but cover the first with the second. It slowed everything down (imagine, having two massive gifs open at once).
Now, though, I’ve gotten rid of IE, gotten a different desktop shell. Now, if I’m not browsing using IE, it’s not open. Before it was always running (try ctl-alt-del then ‘end task’ on ‘Microsoft Internet Explorer’ and watch in wonder as it brings up the Shut Down dialog box).
Glory be.
Fuck Microsoft.
Up yours, so-called tech chick.
Surgoshan–if you don’t like it, don’t use it.
MICROSOFT FOREVER!!!
Monster104, thanks, but while that works for the favorites popdown menu, it has no effect on the one that pops up and sticks on the side. That one seems to need organization by dragging, which turns into far more housekeeping than I prefer.
Altair, nice rejoinder :rolleyes: , but it isn’t my fight and I’ll stay out of it.
Oh, and Techchick, if I were bathing in beer the thinner the better. A nice, heavy brew would be a pain to rinse out. But it would do wonders for my hair!
So what was the deal with the left click on the mouse? Mine has been doing the same lately after upgrading the damn IE prog.
Or rent yourself a U-Haul and move to Lancaster County.
Altair, what the fuck was that supposed to mean? And yes, I know where and what Lancaster County is.
