When I have finished with a link on the internet & there is no arrow backwards, to get out of the screen I have to click on the 'X'. This takes me back to the desktop which means I have to reenter the internet, is there a way of exiting a screen without going all the way back out. I am using XP, Jean

Usually when there isn't a back arrow that means there is no history of another webpage. You could try when opening a webpage right click on the link you want to go to and select " Open in New Window or New Tab" this will save you losing your original starting page.

You can just click the small icon that looks like s house to bring up your homepage .... that way you haven't closed Internet Explorer.

 Smiley Wink Cheesy Grin Angry Sad Shocked Cool Huh? Roll Eyes Tongue Embarrassed Lips Sealed Undecided Kiss Cry Bow

You only need to click on the smiley and it will put it where the blinking curser is in your message ...
