Contrary to this setting sometimes you may want to have the graphics in full and print them too on your colour desk-jet Printer, but the Web page background may not get printed either fully or partially. For enabling the printing of the Web site using the Internet Explorer, click on Tools menu and then from the drop-down menu click on Internet options.

Now your browser is set to print all graphics-enabled good Web sites, which you may wish to print. However, there is a word of caution. Some graphics may not print the way they look at the screen, which is primarily because of special Web techniques, which are optimised only for viewing the Web sites using a browser and not for printing them. Therefore some images may not look as good on the print out. Close Explorer Normally, we all use mouse to close the Internet Explorer window or use the Alt key combinations.

Turn off in DOS prompt As far as annoyance in Windows is concerned, there is nothing more annoying than waiting for your Windows to Shut down and your Windows screen hangs at the message "Windows is shutting down". This is a quite common problem of the users of Windows ’98 operating system. Though there is a fix available at the Microsoft Web site for this problem, but as per many users even this fix does not seem to be working in all cases.
