How to Identify the Parts of the Internet Window
Internet Explorer is a web browsing software by Microsoft that comes installed with Windows operating systems or can be downloaded at no charge. This browser is an alternative to Mozilla Firefox or Apple's Safari. Like other browsers, it has helpful navigation features, such as "Back" and "Forward" buttons, a convenient "Menu" bar and shows progress of page loading. There is also plenty of add-on toolbars that you can download and install in addition to the built-in ones to enhance your Web browsing.
