Is there a FAQ for Windows IE Setup

[Guest]

Hi,
I have read some posts about the java script errors, IE hanging, IE window
disappearing, IE not loading a URL, IE problems with pop ups, firewall ...etc.
I've had almost all the problems one time or another. Is there an FAQ on
what the settings (under Internet Options) should be for all these options to
allow smooth surfing? I also have McAFee Internet Security 6.0.

Thanks,
Sikander

If you get really bored you can test this one:

Disable Information Bar Prompt in Internet Explorer
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\InformationBar]
"FirstTime"=dword:00000000

(I haven't verified that one so you're on your own with that.)

Those seem to be the most frequently asked questions other than some basic
ones that are just to easy to type out each time...

Open IE, click tools, options, content, auto-complete, etc... Those are
faster to just type out each time.
