Using Accessibility Options for Visual Impairments

If you have a visual impairment, the accessibility menu can be used to
override individual web page settings to ignore certain colors and fonts on
specified web pages.

Click on any of the radio buttons to enable the accessibility features, or use
the more advanced style-sheet feature, which allows a pre-formatted style
sheet to be used for all web pages.

Internet Security and Privacy

Increasing Security for Your Computer While Accessing the Internet

Your Internet security can be increased, but you lose the ability to see all the
functions that are available. However, if you lower the Internet security
settings to see everything, you risk the security of your computer.

1 Click Start→ Control Panel→ Network and Internet Connections→

Internet Options.

2 Open the Security tab.
3 While the Internet icon is highlighted, use the vertical slide bar in the

security level for this zone to increase or decrease the security for Internet
websites.

Clicking any of the other icons on the Security page will open additional
security options.

1 Click Sites under either of these headings and add the sites that you trust

or want to restrict.

Trusted sites can be added to a list so that information from those
sites will be considered secure.
