How to get to Internet Options in IE?

[mikehende]

Hey guys, I tried a few tutorials but not seeing how to get to the Internet options in Internet Explorer, help please?

If you don't have the menu bar showing in Internet Explorer, right click anywhere above your address bar and select Menu Bar.

 

 

Once you have your Menu bar showing, click on Tools and select Internet options.

I tried right clicking everywhere at the top and sides of the address bar but not getting a menu bar option. Please the screenshot attached and advise me if you can on exactly where I should be right clicking please?

Adding to AllHeart's advice, you can find Internet Options in the Control Panel.

[mikehende]

YES, that works easily. thanks!

Also try ALT-X when in IE. That should bring up the Tools menu.

No hat doesn't work on my end.

You are using Microsoft Edge, not Internet Explorer.

In Edge, you click the "Hamburger" icon.

I don't use Edge because it feels and acts unfinished to me.

In Win 10, I use IE.

 

[mikehende]

Yes, you're right. Since according to my research there is no way to uninstall it, I tried installing IE 11 but the exe is not opening, how can I use IE instead of edge please?

Internet Explorer is already part of the operating system but in Windows 10, you have to turn it on.

Click on the Control Panel. (You can access it from your Start button.)

Click on Programs and under Programs and Features, click Turn Windows features on or off.

Select the Internet Explorer check box and click OK.

You might have to restart your computer.

I checked the box and restarted but still only edge is showing

Go to Search and type in Internet Explorer.

It will bring IE up and you'll have to set it up.

During the settings process, be sure to make IE your default browser.

You can drag IE to your task bar as a short cut after it's set up.

Did everything, restarted but edge is still there

Hi Mike.

Cindy's instructions are quite clear. If your still having problems, watch this Video.

Here is another way

 

[allheart55 Cindy E]

That seems like another good way to do it, Dougie.

I can't see what Mike's problem is,Cindy.

I am thinking Mike is using the Cortana screen (getting confused) instead of asking in the Tile screen

In the Tile screen when you type "Internet Explorer" a blue internet explorer box appears with "Desk App"

under it.

All I did was Right Click" on it and chose "Pin to Task Bar"

It worked for me.

[mikehende]

That video did not work. Don't know about cortana screen. On the bottom of my screen is the start tab, next to it is contana showing "I'm cortana. Ask me anything."

[DSTM]

You didn't read my post,Mike.

 

You type in the Tile screen.

 

[mikehende]

Ohh sorry, YES, that works nicely, thanks!

[DSTM]

Your Welcome,Mike.
