Click the big “e” for InPrivate Browsing

  Ever loved the InPrivate Browsing of Internet Explorer 8? An IE8 user posted a question in windows7ako.com “Ask lang, pwede bang i-default every time na io-open ko ang IE ko sa in-private browsing?” translation: Can I set my IE8 by default to go InPrivate Browsing every time I open it ?”  The answer will be YES! There are two ways to do it, a long method and a short method.

First, if you are using Windows 7, you have to pin your IE8 in your task  bar, the right click the IE icon, the jumplist will appear, you will see the Start InPrivate Browsing in the options, click it, then presto an IE8 InPrivate Browsing window will appear in your computer screen.

The shorter way is that you will make a shortcut of your IE8.  Right click your desktop, on the menu click “New” then click “Shortcut” a dialogue box will appear and enter the following:

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" –private

Note: Please do not remove the strings.

Click “Next” and you’re done! A new IE8 icon will appear in your desktop and the good thing is, you can also pin that shortcut in your taskbar for easy access! :)
