Visit Websites from your "Start" Button

SUMMARY: Stop hunting for your webbrowser in Windows 95 - you can access websites straight from the "Start" button.

You don't need to wait for an operating system upgrade to have an "Internet-ready" taskbar for Windows 95. If you want to visit a website without having to first find your browser, then load it, and then wait for it to finish to type in the web address which you want to visit, just do the following.

Click on the "Start" button, choose "Run," and then type in the complete web address that you wish to visit. For example, to visit Envision Programming's website, just click "Start," choose "Run," and key in "http://www.envprogramming.com" and press enter.

Your default browser will load and then go straight to your desired website; while you wait, you can go get another cup of coffee.
