    Recently installed IE 9.

    In the older IE versions when you were at a web page and wanted to FORWARD that page, you could click in bar and forward it as a LINK or the whole page.

    I can not find the way to forward a page, or a link to a page in the new IE 9. :confused:

    All the knowledgable folks around, I know I will be embarassed by not finding it.

    Thanks,

    :D

    By default, IE does not show the Menu Bar. Rt click atop the windows and select > Menu bar. The use File menu > Send > Link by email or Page by email.

    Or press the Alt key on your keyboard to 'pop up' the Menu Bar.

    In IE, click Tools > Internet Options > Programs tab > Set Programs button, then click the Set your default programs link. Click the program on the left that you want to use for email, then on the right at the bottom, click Set this program as default. That's it, OK your way out.
