Red Hat is a registered trademark of Red Hat Corporation.

Microsoft Internet Explorer never offered an easy way to delete cookies—until Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 came along. You can now delete those no longer needed cookies quite easily. Just run IE 6 and choose Tools|Internet Options. When the Internet Options dialog box opens, click the General tab (if necessary) and then click Delete Cookies.

You know how it is—sometimes you try to uninstall a program and the uninstall fails. You don’t have to put up with this erratic behavior. Just download a copy of Aurelitec, Inc.’s UninstallAbility.

UninstallAbility runs in Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP. Get your copy by clicking here.

If you want to organize your Favorites in IE 6, you can choose Favorites|Organize Favorites to open the Organize Favorites dialog box. If you prefer to use keystrokes, you can open the Organize Favorites dialog by simply pressing
