A little collection of tips on using the Mac!

Using Finder like... a browser!

OK, maybe not quite... but its similar in that you can navigate with only one window showing at a time...

When you open a window, hold down the option button while double-clicking. That will close the previous window while opening the new one. To go back, command-click on the title bar and select the folder you would like to return to.

Internet Explorer

  • did you know that from Version 5.0 of the browser, it enable you to navigate the page with a 'scrolling mouse' effect? Just hold 'command' (or the 'apple' key) and drag the pages around!
  • If you command-click on the title bar, you can navigate back to the root directories on the server, much like the finder window! For example, if you command click on this page's title page, you can navigate all the way back to www.oocities.org!
