Internet Explorer 6 - to disable IE 6 as the default browser

Usually, if you use Windows Xp, the system is bundled together with Internet Explorer 6. If you always use another browser to surf the internet, Internet Explorer will check either it is the deafult browser or not. This function was being enabled automatically as default setting within IE6.

There's nothing to be afraid of because it will effect anything.

In case you dont want to use Internet Explorer 6 as your default browser, you can click the box named with title 'Always perform this check when starting Internet Explorer'.

This is a deafult setting for all version of Internet Explorer, including the latest version, Internet Explorer 8. For me, I'm using Firefox 3.6 as my default web browser. while Google Chrome 6 as my second browser.

Google Mail Checker to read Gmail emails with one single click

You want to read your inbox messages in Gmail without a need of typing your Google ID (your Gmail email address) and your password may times over. All you want is to read your emails in one single click.

You can so this by installing Google Mail Checker, an useful extension for Google Chrome web browser.

To start using it, all you need to do is to sign in to your Gmail with your Gmail ID and password, please click on 'Stay signed in' button. Dont sign out after that, if not you will not able to enjoy this feature many times over.

Downlad Google Mail Checker from Extension page. The download process should be done less than 30 seconds after you clicked 'Install' button. When finish, restart your Google Chrome.

Look at the right top corner of your browser and you will see red Gmail icon with small numbers below it. The number presenting how many unread emails in your Gmail inbox. In the image, I've got 62 unread emails in my Gmail account.

When you click on Google Mail Checker icon, Google Chrome brings you right into your inbox (for the Gmail account name you've signed in before) without a need of signing in again and again. Like I said before, you can read your email in Gmail without typing your Google ID and password many times over.

However, this trick does not works for multiple sign in for any Gmail account. It can only serve one Gmail account at a time. I'm falling in love with it!

If you opens up Persona's official website with Google Chrome 6, Safari 4, Opera 10 or Internet Explorer 8, the "Wear It' button will never appear.
