IE瀏覽器常用參數大揭密

眾所周知，IE瀏覽器的主程序是Iexplore.exe，和釵h軟件一樣，我們也可以給該文件加上參數使用，有時會有意想不到的效果。

　　首先我們說說怎樣給IE的主程序Iexplore.exe加上參數。打開「我的電腦」，找到IE的安裝目錄，假設你的IE安裝在C : Program FilesInternet Explorer下。進入該文件夾，找到Iexplore.exe文件，對著它點擊鼠標右鍵，在彈出的快捷菜單中選擇「發送到」|「桌面快捷方式」，這樣就在桌面上建立了一個Iexplore.exe文件的快捷方式。用鼠標右鍵單擊該快捷方式，選擇「屬性」，會彈出「Iexplore.exe 屬性」對話框，選擇其中的「快捷方式」標籤，然後在「目標」框裡填入Iexplore.exe文件的路徑和文件名及參數，就會給我們帶來意想不到的效果。

　　在桌面上開個收藏夾窗口

　　收藏夾對於經常上網的用戶來說，非常實用。它能將好的網頁地址保存起來，再次訪問的時候，不必輸入網址就可以查詢該網頁。不過，每次都去點擊「收藏夾」菜單，未免有些麻煩，如果能在桌面上顯示一個窗口，裡面的內容就是收藏夾，那該多方便。右鍵點擊桌面上的Iexplore.exe，選「屬性」|「快捷方式」，在目標欄中填入：" C : Program FilesInternet ExplorerIEXPLORE.EXE" -channelband，注意，在參數「-channelband」前面有一個空格。輸入完畢,點擊這個快捷方式，在桌面上就會彈出一個只有關閉按鈕，黑底白字的小窗口，其實它就是「頻道欄」，只是裡面的內容被我們的收藏夾給替換了。如果不想讓它每次都顯示，把「-channelband」去掉就可以了。

　　防止IE主頁地址被修改

　　修改IE默認主頁地址是惡意網頁常用的一招，IE被修改後，會自動連接到惡意網頁的地址。大家常用的方法是修改註冊表，其實，只要簡單給IE加個參數，就再也不害怕IE主頁地址被修改了。和上面的方法相同，在Iexplore.exe快捷方式的「目標」框裡填入：" C : Program FilesInternet ExplorerIEXPLORE.EXE" -nohome，給Iexplore.exe加上參數「-nohome」，點擊「確定」退出即可。

　　這樣即使主頁被修改也沒有關係，打開IE就是一片空白，那些額外加載在IE工具欄中的工具按鈕，如網絡螞蟻，網際快車等都不見了，就連about:blank也不顯示。這樣做還有一個好處，就是能夠加快啟動速度。

　　讓IE的工具欄和菜單欄隱形

　　我們可以在桌面上建立一個IE的快捷方式，當別人一點擊，就會出現一個沒有工具欄和菜單欄的全屏幕顯示的IE窗口，非常好玩，而你則可以熟練地利用鍵盤進行操作。和前面的方法相同，只是在「目標」框裡填入：" C : Program FilesInternet ExplorerIEXPLORE.EXE" -k，點擊「確定」按鈕退出就建立了一個IE的桌面快捷方式。點擊這個快捷方式，會出現一個不包括工具列、狀態欄的全屏幕IE模式。由於菜單都沒有了，必須使用一些組合鍵才能操控這個IE窗口，以下是常用到的按鍵組合，供大家參考：

　　Alt+左箭頭：上一頁 Alt+右箭頭：下一頁

　　Ctrl+B：開啟整理收藏夾 Ctrl+D：加到我的收藏夾

　　Ctrl+I：顯示或隱藏收藏夾 Ctrl+H：開啟歷史紀錄文件夾

　　Ctrl+E：搜索 Ctrl+N：打開新窗口

　　Ctrl+L：用來輸入網址 Ctrl+O：也可用來輸入網址

　　Ctrl+R：刷新，等同於按F5 Ctrl+W：關閉目前的窗口，等同於按Alt+F4

　　讓IE與資源管理器親密接觸

　　在IE中點擊「查看」|「瀏覽器欄」|「文件夾」，可以在IE瀏覽器的左邊窗口中顯示資源管理器的內容。如果你想打開IE，就在瀏覽器中顯示「文件夾」，可以Iexplore.exe文件加上「-e」參數，使用時點擊這個新建立的快捷方式，就可以讓IE與資源管理器親密接觸了。

　　以上幾則技巧，也可以這樣來實現：點擊「開始」菜單中的「運行」，在打開的「運行」對話框中輸入：iexplore空格-參數來運行，效果和上面介紹的方法一樣。以上面的技巧2為例，你可以在「運行」對話框中輸入：iexplore -nohome，回車可以達到同樣的效果。只是這樣沒有利用快捷方式這種方法更方便。

　　最後，再解釋一下，為什麼我們不利用安裝IE時自動建立的快捷方式，因為它和我們建立的快捷方式是有區別的，IE自動建立的快捷方式無法加上參數。不信的話，可以右鍵點擊桌面上原來IE自建的快捷方式，選「屬性」試試——這就是它們之間最大的不同，也是本文的關鍵之所在。

Milner Library Computer and Internet Acceptable Use Policy

This policy applies only to the public computer workstations and does not include those computers in faculty and staff offices, in the Milner Computer Lab, or in the electronic classrooms.

INTRODUCTION

Illinois State University’s Milner Library endorses the sharing of information and freedom of expression that encourages academic discourse. Faculty, staff and students use Milner library’s resources to support and enhance instruction, research, and administrative functions. Use of library computer workstations integrally supports these educational activities. All users of Milner Library assume responsibility for using the computer workstations in an ethical and legal manner in accordance with University policies and state and federal laws.

Users are expected to comply with applicable campus policies such as the Illinois State University Appropriate Use Policy (http://www.policy.ilstu.edu/fiscal/appropriate_use_policy.htm) and the Illinois State University Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Policy (http://www.policy.ilstu.edu/policydocs/eoaa.html). Milner Library endorses the Library Bill of Rights (http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/statementspols/statementsif/librarybillrights.htm) and the Freedom to Read Statement (http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/statementspols/ftrstatement/freedomreadstatement.htm) of the American Library Association.

PRIMARY CLIENTELE

The primary clientele of Milner Library are the students, faculty, and staff of Illinois State University, and they will have priority during periods of high use. Persons other than ISU students, faculty and staff may use designated library computer workstations. Guest logins can be requested at the reference desks. All persons using Milner's computer workstations are expected to follow the guidelines set forth in this policy.

CHILDREN / YOUNG ADULT ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC INFORMATION

Milner Library supports the right of all library users to access information, and will not deny access to electronic information networks, or to particular databases or Internet sites, based solely on age. The library recognizes that electronic information networks such as the Internet may contain material that is considered inappropriate for children. Only a parent or guardian has the right to determine what is appropriate for his or her child; it is not appropriate or practical for library staff to monitor children's computer use...Children will be expected to follow the guidelines outlined in this policy and will be held to the same standards of behavior as other library patrons.

Milner Library patrons have certain rights with respect to the use of electronic information resources. These are the same rights that apply to patrons using any other library service. They include:

1. The right to equitable access to the library's materials and services;
2. The right to confidentiality and privacy in the use of electronic information networks to the extent possible given certain constraints such as proximity of other patrons and staff in public access settings, and security weaknesses inherent in electronic communications;
3. The right to access information without censorship of content. However, the Library may impose reasonable rules regarding the time, place, or manner in which electronic resources are used, in order to promote the efficient operation of the library and to ensure that the rights of all users are respected. The conventions of common courtesy and civility apply to the electronic environment and the Library encourages users to exercise good judgement as to what is appropriate for display in a public area.

PATRON ASSISTANCE AND INSTRUCTION

Milner Library staff provides assistance to patrons in the use of electronic information resources as time and staff knowledge permit. Printed and online documentation and instructions are available at or near most reference desks. Formal instruction in the use of particular electronic information services is available through library workshops or course-related instruction.

USE OF EQUIPMENT AND NETWORKS

Milner Library requires that library patrons using computer information resources do so within the guidelines of acceptable use. Library workstations are to be used primarily for course-related activity, scholarly research, and other activities directly related to the educational, research, and public service mission of the University.

The following activities are UNACCEPTABLE:

1. Destruction of, damage to, or unauthorized alteration of the library’s computer equipment software, or network security procedures;
2. Behaving in a manner that is harassing, intimidating, or disruptive to others, including but not limited to use of computer equipment which serves to deny access to other users;
3. Use of electronic information networks in any way which violates the Illinois State University Appropriate Use Policy (http://www.policy.ilstu.edu/fiscal/appropriate_use_policy.htm) or federal or state law;
4. Use of electronic information networks in any way which violates licensing and payment agreements between Milner Library and network/database providers;
5. Use of Milner workstations to access games and chat rooms not related to educational purposes.
6. Use of Milner workstations for commercial purposes.

TIME LIMITS

In general, Milner Library staff will not monitor the amount of time library patrons use the public computer workstations. In periods of high use, Milner Library's primary clientele will have priority in use of the public computer workstations at the discretion of the library staff member at the reference desk.

UTSA Library Policies

Library Public Computers

The UTSA Library strongly supports free and open access to all networked resources that are not restricted by law or The University's policies.

However, because open access to research materials is the primary focus of the Library and because the number of workstations in the Library is limited, the Library reserves the right to reclaim Library public computers for accessing research materials.

The following list includes activities not considered directly pertinent to research:

• Checking or writing personal email
• Using chatrooms for any purpose
• Playing games, shopping or stock trading
• Writing papers

Email and chatroom activities that are directed by a faculty member and required for coursework are exceptions. The Library reserves the right to halt the above activities, or any other activities that do not involve research access and reassign the machines to patrons who need them for research.

UTSA students, faculty, and staff have priority for use of all Library computers. If others are waiting to use computers, please limit your session to 30 minutes.

Policies - Library Laptop Computer Use

The CSUMB Library now has 25 laptop computers available for use in the Library building. Priority will be given to instructional use by students participating in Library Instruction sessions. When not reserved for Library Instruction, current CSUMB students may check out a laptop from the Library Circulation Desk. Each laptop is equipped with a wireless network card, floppy drive, battery and AC power cord. CD/DVD drives and headphones are also available upon request. The laptops are configured with the same software loadset as the Library?s public desktop computers. Because the laptops use wireless technology, they can access the campus network from anywhere in the Library. Laptops may not be taken out of the Library and may only be used in the building. CSUMB faculty and staff who need laptop computers should contact Academic Technology and Media Services, Building 18.

Priority Use:

1) Priority is given to scheduled Library Instruction sessions. The Library will stop checking out laptops three hours prior to a classroom session.

2) When not reserved or in use for instruction, currently enrolled CSUMB students may check out a laptop for in-building use. A CSUMB student ID with current semester sticker is required for check out.

Borrowing Responsibility:

When checking out a laptop from CSUMB Library, each borrower must sign the following Laptop User Agreement:

1) I am responsible for the laptop and all components checked out to me. I will not leave it unattended. While in my possession I will protect it from being damaged or stolen.

2) I understand that when I check out a laptop and components it is for my exclusive use. I agree that I will not check out laptop or components for others, and misuse is cause for not being allowed to check out laptop or components in the future.

3) I agree to return laptop and all components when due. I understand that I will be billed for repair, replacement, and overdue fees while laptop and its components are checked out to me if returned damaged, lost, stolen or overdue. I also agree to pay for replacement, repair, and overdue fees should I incur any. See Laptop Fee Schedule below.

4) I agree the CSUMB Library may place a hold on my registration, transcript, or take any other action necessary in an effort to recover damages arising from my use of laptop and its components. I agree that CSUMB is free to pursue any other remedies available to it and shall be entitled to recover any collection fees, if I fail to return the laptop or components when due.

5) I understand and agree that CSUMB shall have the right to treat non-returned laptop or components as stolen property and can take all necessary actions to recover in it in accordance with governing law, including but not limited to disclosing personal information contained in this record as provided by State, Municipal, County, CSU and CSUMB policies.

6) I agree this checkout record does not constitute a "confidential library record" and hereby agree to waive any and all my confidentiality rights under any Federal or State laws.

7) I agree not to tamper, with hardware or existing software, or allow others to do so.

8) I agree to fully cooperate with library staff when they ask to return laptop and components for library instruction, inventory, or when the library closes.

When you checkout a laptop, you will be asked to sign a form indicating that you agree to binding and legal obligations listed in the above section on borrowing responsibility and are voluntarily entering into the agreement you sign.

Borrowing and Use of Laptops

Currently enrolled CSUMB students may check out laptops for 2 hours from the Library Circulation Desk when not reserved for Library Instruction. A CSUMB student ID with current semester sticker is required.

Borrowers are required to sign the Laptop User Agreement and initial the Laptop Inventory List during check out.

Laptops should not be left unattended at any time.

All laptops must be returned 30 minutes before closing.

All components must be returned together. The borrower is responsible for any and all replacement or late fees.

Because laptop clocks could have been changed by other borrowers, relying on the laptop clock for the time laptop is due is not cause to forgive overdue fees. Verify the time due with circulation desk staff.

For network, hardware, software or application problems, borrowers should contact the campus Information Technology Service Desk, 582-HELP (4357) during regular business hours. A campus phone is available in the Library lobby.

Laptop Overdue, Replacement and Damage Fee Schedule:

CSU Monterey Bay Library: Policies - Use of Library Computers

Policies - Use of Library Computers

Purpose:

The purpose of these guidelines is to name the principles by which the public access computers are made available and configured, to name the policies and procedures by which the principles are followed, to announce current configurations and access, and to establish methods for revising the configuration.

Scope:

The scope of these guidelines includes all Library software, printers and local storage devices housed in the Library are available for public access.

Principles:

1. The library, in consultation with faculty and students, has the responsibility to match library-based resources to the mission and goals of the University and Library.
2. Given the mission of the Library to provide "the diversity of information resources essential for learning and teaching" CSUMB's curriculum, and the reliance on electronic resources to fulfill that mission, public access to computers is an essential resource for the library and its patrons. The library has an obligation to recognize and address contending uses of library-based computers and to ensure the availability of computer resources for information discovery and access. While the library seeks to make electronic information resources available to its primary clientele from any networked computer, library-based access is at times essential because of its proximity to other library services such as Reference assistance.
3. The Library is dedicated to assisting the University in providing general access to computing resources provided that general access does not substantially interfere with the availability of computing resources for information discovery and access nor place undue strain on the library’s staff and other resources.
4. The Library will support and maintain library-specialized software on its public access computers, and will make a best effort to provide assistance to users. Ultimately, however, support and maintenance of hardware and the basic software loadset is the responsibility of campus Information Technology.

Policies & Procedures

In accordance with the principles above, the following policies (and associated procedures for implementation) are assumed for library workstations:

1. As needed the library shall dedicate computers for information discovery and use only. Those computers will have a "basic library loadset."
   • In accordance with the CSUMB Desktop and Computer Lab Standard Operating Environment Guidelines, the loadset will be determined by library staff.
   • Computers designated for information discovery and use will be clearly designated as such.
   • The loadset is reviewed annually by the Library. Notices of significant changes will be sent to Information Technology, and the Academic Senate Technology Committee, and will be widely announced to the campus community.
2. In order to make access to computers equitable, patterns of use and demand will be regularly reviewed and, if necessary, a queuing method (e.g. "sign-up" sheets) may be instituted. The queuing method may include time limits on use of library computers.
3. Priority use of Library computers is dedicated to the library's primary clientele, i.e. CSUMB students, faculty, and staff. Non-primary clientele may use library computers on an as available basis (but not necessarily all library resources where license restrictions prevent it).

Current Configuration

The basic library loadset is currently the campus Basic loadset with the following applications:

• Internet Explorer
• Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint
• FirstClass e-mail client
• Adobe Acrobat Reader

Support & Maintenance of Computers

For computer problems or questions contact the campus Technology Service Desk.

These guidelines are subject to review by the Library on an annual or as-needed basis.
