What
is Power Browsing Tools?
Power Browsing Tools is a collection of helper programs that give new abilities to your Netscape
Navigator. These helper programs are: Full
Screen, Save With Images,
Download Manager and Miscellaneous.
Each is discussed in its own section. More helper programs will be added
as they are written.
Install
and Uninstall
First you need to close Netscape Navigator before installing or uninstalling
Power Browsing Tools or upgrading Power Browsing Tools to a newer version or adding any new Power Browsing Tools module.
After Power Browsing Tools is downloaded, it can be unzipped into a temporary folder on
your computer. Using Windows Explorer, find the temporary folder, then
double-click on "Setup.exe". After that, just follow the dialog boxes
and Power Browsing Tools is installed for you.
To install an upgrade to Power Browsing Tools or to add a new Power Browsing Tools module you need to re-install
the entire Power Browsing Tools software. Be sure to uninstall the older version before installing
the newer.
To uninstall Power Browsing Tools, access Control Panel then double-click on "Add/Remove
Programs". Select Power Browsing Tools by highlighting it, then click on the "Remove" button.
It's that simple. You may want to use Windows Explorer to make sure the
Power Browsing Tools folder is not still on your computer. If it is, simply highlight the
entire Power Browsing Tools folder and use the "File" menu and its sub-menu "Delete" to delete
the folder, but this should be done only after using Control Panel as above.
Quick
Start
Once Power Browsing Tools is installed it is automatically
integrated with Netscape Navigator. Full
Screen is toggled on and off by the new "Wide"/"Unwide" button on Navigator's
toolbar. Save With Images
is added to Netscape's "File" menu as one of its menu items. Simply click
on this menu choice when you want to save the current web page being browsed
and all of its images. Download
Manager is called automatically before you start a download. And the
middle mouse button
of any three button mouse installed on your system is automatically activated
when Navigator starts up. Various options
for Power Browsing Tools can be set using Netscape's "Edit" and "Preferences" menu items.
Finding
Help
Power Browsing Tools Help has been added to Navigator's Help menu as an item you can click
on. This help is always only a click away.
It can also be accessed directly from within Netscape's Preferences
window if Power Browsing Tools or one of its modules is highlighted by clicking on Netscape's
Help button or pressing F1.
