There are very detailed instructions in the Help files that accompany Windows. You can read those for more information.

Basically, you open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer). Locate the files you want to copy, highlight and right mouse click. Choose Copy. Now, find the location where you want to copy these files (usually another drive like D: or H:, whereever the flash/jump/thumb drive is located) and paste the files there.

To select a group of consecutive files, left mouse click on the first file, hold down the shift key, scroll to the last file in the group you want to move and left mouse click on it. (The files in between will also be selected.) Continue to hold the left mouse button down but let go of the shift key. Drag the group to the CD drive.

To select several non-consecutive file, follow the above steps but instead of the shift key, use the Control key. This will select each file you click on separately. If you click on an incorrect file, simple click again and it will de-select that file.

Using a combination of the shift and control keys will perform allow you to select non-consecutive groups of files.

As usual, I am contributing nothing to the conversation, but had to thank you for the smile. 

Go up to the top and click on "Tools", then "Internet Options". Click "Clear History". That should do it.

If you set your history to only keep one or two days' worth of info, it will automatically clear itself.

It would be a good idea to click "clear files" on the same screen as well.  You should also click "clear cookies", but that will delete all your passwords and saved information. However, some of those "cookies" can be harmful so you do need to clear them out once in a while.

Go to Start Menu, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs.  Scroll down to Microsoft Internet Explorer, highlight it, hit the Add/Remove Button.  A screen will pop up with three options, install, repair, or uninstall.  Click the Repair radio button, hit OK, then reply Yes.  After it's done restart your computer and try going to your website again.

If that doesn't work and you can't get it to work through the Mozilla browser either, let me know and I'll see what else I can think up.  Also, update and run your virus and spyware scanners to be sure it's not a virus locking you out.  If you need links to free ones, AVG is good for virus, and either Spybot Search and Destroy or AdAware are good for spyware.  I think both are available at Download.com.

Here's the link for Mozilla Firefox, which is supposedly a more secure browser than Internet Explorer anyway.

all of a sudden when I type in an address in the address bar on IE and hit enter, it takes me to "organize favorites" and makes a new folder.  Anyone know how to fix this or turn it off so that when I type in an address it will just to the web page I am looking for?

Thanks for any help!

It would help if you were a little more specific about what the issues are that are making your frustrated.

"Cleaning your cache" and deleting cookies are very simple and easy ways to keep your computer free of adware and spyware, although you should have a firewall and run a good malware/adware program frequently.

I have I/E 7 - and I get this error message:

I/E has encountered a problem and needs to close. My options are to debug, send, or don't send

Have tried to find help online, but nothing that I can understand so far

Is anyone else having the same problem and/or had the same problem and know what to do about it 

Thank you

Sometime agao, I was having probelms with my Internet Explorer. I finally had to call a help desk. I don't know if this will help you or not, but these are the instructions i was given:

Turn off or unplug moden.

Turn off computer.

Wait about 3 minutes.

Turn on moden and wait under 3 lights are on solidly (cannot be flashing).

Reboot computer.

The lights on my moden are:

Power

Ethernet

DSL

Internet

Activity.

I hope this will work for you.  If not, you should have a number to call a help desk.

Looks like a keyboard and screen, very tiny, set mouse over it and it should say safely remove hardware -- click on it, and it will tell you what peripherals need to be clicked on before removing it.  If your peripheral is a USB and it has been installed before -- no, I don't turn my machine off UNLESS, I need to for it to be recognized -- I have an external hard drive that I have to do that with. 

Hope this helps
