Hello,
Please excuse me if I post this wrong--my first time. I am hoping that
someone can explain to me how to exit one website without completely exiting
from the internet. For example: I access the internet using Internet
Explorer, then I pull up a particular website, then I want to close that
website and go on to another website. The only way for me to exit is to click
on the X at the top right of the page. When I do that it exits me completely
from IE. This is so frustrating---I usually just minimize the website and
pull up the next, but then, I sometimes end up with 10 minimized pages!! Can
anyone help?? I sure would appreciate it.
Thank you,
A Grateful Friend

Try the "Back" or "Home" buttons in the toolbar.

You obviously do not have a Macintosh computer - that is the subject of
this newsgroup. Internet Explorer is no longer supported on Macs. But
all internet browsers work the same - you might want to try some other
ones like FireFox. Check to see if you can set your IE to open a new
window for every web site - that way if you close it you just go back
to the previous one.
Another thought - you might have closed your tool bars and can't see
the Back or Home buttons - try right clicking and see if you can
restore the tool bar.

Yeah get a tabbed browser like firefox, opera, safari, the list goes on.
If that is not an option that get some sort of toolbar. Otherwise:
CMD+W will close a window
CMD+Q will close an application

I hope that helped some way?

Bottom line: There's no need to "exit" a web site. Just enter the address
you want to go to. If the site you're on required a log in it's a good idea
to log out before going on to a different site, but web sites aren't like
documents you have to "open" & "close'.
