As quietly change IE to another browser on the computer my parents

Support parental computers - not the most pleasant and the most simple. Especially if your parents do not know which side to approach this miracle of technology. Therefore, he was like a hundred years has not been updated, and now just throws them confusing and sometimes frightening messages and requests.

The parent needs a good treatment, and his computer - in a complete reinstallation of the system. If a parent has got skittish and all the forces resisting anything new, you may want to upgrade your computer secretly. And then, suddenly, the parent proapgreytitsya himself.

Can someone blame us in our noble impulse to do everything quietly and in secret from his parents. Still, it's their computer, and their head and what to do with them - it's up to them. But I will tell you from my own experience, work tech support to parents who are in thousands of km from you, and it is absolutely not versed in computers - is very difficult and dangerous for the nervous system. If you can reinstall the program, our nerve cells do so have not yet learned. Therefore, in each arrival home mom, I try to ease their plight and gradually translate it into those programs that use itself. So I would be much easier to explain that the press and where it is, even at that distance (and even in Italian), without her mother's hysterics and zapivaniya of valerian.

So, want to convert their parents to another browser and do it so that they do not even notice? It's pretty simple. Which browser opt for this - you decide. Google Chrome is updated almost imperceptibly, Firefox Patch is close to IE and parents may not even notice the difference.

The next step - move bookmarks, if any. If you installed Firefox, then your path: Bookmarks - Show All Bookmarks, and then proceed to the Import - Import from Another Browser. If this is Chrome, then click on the icon with the wrench and go to Bookmarks - Import Bookmarks and Settings.

We are making the interface of the new browser in appearance as close as possible to IE

Now, in order to completely cover up the traces of your tricks left to make the interface of the new-old browser as similar to Internet Explorer. It is best to get it, if you use Firefox. Make sure that your Google search box in the Firefox toolbar is open (right-click mouse on the toolbar, select Customize and drag the Google search box in the toolbar). While you are in the settings menu, drag the reset button back to the left of the address bar. Get rid of extra bar at the bottom.

It is also highly recommended to get rid of the bright orange Firefox button. To do this, right-click on the button, select Options - Menu Bar to the menu to be seen constantly. Show bookmarks bar (they will be as if all the time in the fast access), install the theme BlueSky or Neofox - all is ready.
