First of all.... STOP using Internet Explorer. It's rubbish.
Download Opera. A mere 3.4MB download. Why? Apart from anything else, if this happened whilst you were using the Opera browser, your settings would be remembered, if you wish it.
So, when you opened Opera again, all the pages and text you had, would re-open.
In IE6, you would have to start all over again.
After you've used it for a couple of weeks, IE will become a distant memory for you.0
