Web Accessories for Internet Explorer 5

This kit includes a selection of some very useful utilities for Internet Explorer 5. Most of these are activated by "right-clicking" on an appropriate item in the browser and choosing the associated command. For example, if you want to use the Text Highlighter, select some text with the cursor, then right-click on the selected text and choose "Highlight" from the list of commands. Others such as the Image Toggler and Quick Search are located in the links bar. Check out the list of components below and then download Web Accessories for Internet Explorer 5 (131KB). Note: These tools are only recommended for Internet Explorer 5. Internet Explorer 4.x users should use IE4 Powertoys.

Quick Search This Web Accessory lets you reach the search engines of your choice faster than ever.

Links List Ever wish you could see all the links on a page? Just right-click anywhere and select Links Lists, and you'll get a new window with every link on the page in a convenient list format. Then just click any link to navigate.

Image List Finding out what images sizes are and how long they take to download at various connection speeds has never been easier.
