Please could someone tell me how to retrieve the bits at the top of my page. They've disappeared and I cannot reverse, go forward, minimise etc.

I think I must be dyslexic, I hadn't noticed the L and R had been transposed :-S

I had to read over it again!

Members may be interested in what the various function keys do in Internet Explorer.....

F1 - opens help menu
F3 - opens search toolbar
F4 - opens address bar so you can type in an internet address
F5 - refreshes the page you are currently on
F6 - moves your cursor from box to box
F7 - starts caret browsing so you can move the cursor around a webpage just like a Word document
F10 - activates the menu bar (File, Edit, View etc)
F11 - opens full screen mode
F12 - brings up developer tools - ignore this unless you want to get really technical

The above apply to Internet Explorer 9 but broadly speaking are the same for earlier versions. Just try them out, you can't really do any harm.

They can also be used in various other programmes in a variety of timesaving ways - give me a shout if you want to know more.

Hope this is useful.
