Using Internet
Explorer Favorites
If you
frequently visit the same websites you can bookmark the sites for easy
access using Internet Explorer (IE) favorites. Favorites work
similar to Netscape Bookmarks.
To create an IE
favorite:
1. Open IE
2. Open the site that you would like marked as a Favorite.
3. Select 'Favorites' from the top menu bar. Click on 'Add
to Favorites' to add the website.
To view favorites:
Select 'Favorites' from the top menu bar. Your favorite websites
will be displayed in the menu.
Note: You can also have your
favorites displayed on the left side of the browser screen for
convenience. To display the favorites panel, select the
'Favorites' folder from the toolbar.
To organize
favorites:
You can
organize favorites in folders. For example, put any frequently
referenced TCNJ sites in a TCNJ folder. To organize favorites:
1. Select 'Favorites' from the top menu bar. Click on
'Organize favorites'.
2. Click on 'Create Folder' and type in a folder name.
3. From the list of 'Favorites', select the webpage that you would
like added to this folder and click on 'Move to folder..'. Select
the folder from the list and click OK.

Spam got you down?
If you receive twenty messages a day, and nineteen of those
messages are Spam, it is probably a good idea to check out the new
SpamAssassin filtering tool. Instructions for setting up filters
can be found at

Working with Email Filters and the Vacation Feature
Here are some tips
for avoiding Spam from the IT Security Team
http://www.tcnj.edu/~it/security/spam.html:
1. Read the privacy
statement on a website, etc. before providing your email address to make
sure you agree with it.
2. Don't
publish/display your email address on web pages. If you must display it,
use an alternate format. Example: instead of "jdoe@tcnj.edu" use "jdoe
at tcnj.edu." Make sure not to use a mailto: hyperlink since this would
defeat the purpose of the alternate address format.
3. Be conscious of
other places where your email address may appear such as discussion
lists and newsgroups. Discussion list and newsgroup messages tend to be
archived on websites and are good place for spammers to harvest email
addresses.
4. Don't click on the
"remove" or "unsubscribe" links on a suspicious email. Many times these
simply verify that your email address is "alive" and valid.
5. Use email filters,
either in your email client or servers-side filters. It is best to
discard SPAM messages or save them into another folder. Do not reject
them since this will tell the spammer that your email address is still
valid. |
