Internet Explorer 6 provides a number of Advanced
Options that can help make your browser more accessible and
convenient to your personal needs and preferences. By turning
some advanced settings on—or off—your assistive technology and
other accessibility options you select may work better.
The settings described in the step by step
tutorials listed below are accessed through the Advanced
tab of the Internet Options dialog box, and are
organized by subsection within that tab.
Following is a summary of advanced option
settings in Internet Explorer 6 for people with accessibility
needs. Step by step tutorials provide information on accessing
and selecting these settings. The suggested settings will not be
appropriate in all situations. Be sure to
contact your
assistive technology vendor to check the compatibility of
Internet Explorer 6 with your specific assistive technology and
to learn how to adjust your settings to optimize compatibility
