links when clicked may be normal non-advertisement popups. They will be eliminated also. Just click the option again to allow pop-ups again. When in
auto browse or auto refresh mode there is another option in the 'Options' menu to stop pop-ups just for auto refresh or auto browse mode. These modes

Word Documents, Excel Spreadsheets, Acrobat Documents, Notepad Files,,etc can be loaded into the browser by clicking the 'File'
menu option and then 'Open', and then finding the file you want to open. You can also launch executable programs this way.
Right clicking on toobars and backgrounds,,etc will also display the same menu options as clicking the menu button.

you want the screen to be. This is also true for any popup or popup browser.

profile maintenance screen for any user and click 'Update User'.

There is a file named Webtab.jpg in the Browser installation directory that is a default background for the 'Web Browser Screen' when switching web tabs and no web
page has been loaded as of yet. You can take any jpg file and name it to Webtab.jpg in the installation directory to replace the default background.
Clicking on the progress bar will alternate between the up to 20 web browsers. This is useful if you have the web tabs turned off.
Certain functions such as Stop Popups, AutoBrowse, AutoRefresh, AutoWebSwitch,,etc will turn on a red status indicator at

Also, holding the shift key and clicking the Stop Popup (SPOP) button will launch a smaller popup browser for whatever you want to use it for.
You can also make any browser scroll to the right automatically when refreshing. This is useful for instance if you want to display a satelite weather map or a stock ticker,,etc in a small
popup browser and you only want to see one little area of the web page instead of the full web page, and keep it on top of other screens. You can launch the weather map site or the web site
with a stock ticker,,etc in a small popup browser, make the window the size you want, then position the up and down scrollbar and then
position the right and left scrollbar till you see what you want to see. Then whenever you click refresh or turn on AutoRefresh the
window will scroll to where you set the scrollbar positions.
Then you can click 'Always On Top' and go and do other things while the weather map automatically refreshes and positions itself. Any browser screen you are on will
do the horizontal(right-left) scrollbar function. You can do the same scenario in the favorites area browser or any browser.
When doing the above statement in a smaller popup browser, you can save all settings as a BrowserInBrowser (Alt-GoBack button to save). When saved it will put an entry in your favorites in a folder named 'BIB'. Anytime you
click on the favorite, it will launch the popup browser with all settings that were specified when it was saved (AutoRefresh, Scroll Positions, Toolbar settings,,etc).
You can turn on and off the scrollbars on any browser by holding the shift key and clicking on the 'Home' button or if in a popup browser the 'Always On Top' button.
If you change your default search engine and you use Icon Set 5 and you want to change the search button icon, you can do so by finding an icon you want to use as
the search icon(could be other search site icons in folder 'WebSiteIcons' where the browser is installed) and copying the icon into the folder where the browser is
installed, and then rename it to 'SRCH1.ICO'(you will have to rename or delete the existing srch1.ico first). Then restart the browser.
When in toolbar mode, you can hold the shift button and click on the progress bar at top right to turn on/off a clock. The first time you shift-click the progress bar it will put the clock at bottom right, shift-clicking again
will put the clock at top right, shift-clicking again or clicking on the clock will turn it off. The setting will be saved when saving toolbars.

When you have a small popup browser with all the toolbars,,etc turned off, you can move your mouse to the top of the window and the toolbar will come down. You can then right click on the toolbar to get the top title bar to reappear. You can also
hold the shift button and click the back button to turn all bars on and off.
