Customize how you view webpages with Internet Explorer
Tired of plain old Internet explorer? Want to customize how webpages look?

Use style sheets! For example:

1) Copy the following text into notepad:

body
{
scrollbar-base-color: #00bfff
}

2) Save it as: custom.css

Make sure you add the .css to create a valid style sheet.

3) In Control Panel open Internet Options.

4) On the General tab, click the Accessibility button at the bottom right.

5) In the User Style Sheet section check "Format documents using my style sheet".

6) Browse to the custom.css file you saved, then click ok.

Now open a webpage with Internet Explorer. You should have blue scrollbars!

If you study CSS, which is very easy to use, you can change and add many other features. You can check out many other CSS features HERE

Custom Cursor (Win XP)
Start > Control Panel > Printers and other Hardware > Mouse > Pointers Tab

You can set all your cursors, normal, busy, etc.
