Once you have installed our free software, click on the "User
Profile" hyperlink at the top and bottom of pages on our Web site to go to
your User Profile page.
You will find forms there for editing your User Profile.
You can also put a Profile on the Menu
linked to your User Profile on your Guidescope Menu.
Leave blank space where the blocked graphics would have been or
Display an outlined icon (the same icon your browser normally shows
in place of missing graphics) or
Display a gray rectangle.
Outlined icons sometimes get confused with graphics that fail to download, so
most users choose one of the other options. Blank space gives the cleanest
look. Gray rectangles show where ads would have been, so you can avoid
clicking on their hyperlinks.
How do I set what happens on "Page Not Found"?
Select what happens when your browser is sent the message "404 - page not found" on the
Page Not Found form. If you want the
Web Archive
window to open, then select "Try archive". If you don't want it
to open, then select "Don't try".
How do I customize the Guidescope Menu?
Customize the Guidescope Menu using the Customize the Guidescope Menu form.
Turn on the links that you want to appear on the Guidescope Menu.
Turn off the links that you don't want to appear. For links that
have select lists (like Search), choose the page that you want from the
list provided.
You can also control the position of the small Guidescope Menu on
your desktop. It can "float", which leaves it where you place it, or
it can be automatically placed in one of the four corners of your computer screen.
(It is not possible to force it to stay on top of all other windows.
With Windows, you can click on the Taskbar button that starts with "GM -"
to bring it to the top.)
Links other than those shown here may also appear on the Guidescope Menu.
If they are customizable, then they will also appear on this form.
The customizable links include:
The Favorites link opens up to five of your favorite sites in new windows.
If you turn on the Favorites link, then you will need to enter the URLs of
your favorite sites on the Favorite Sites List form as described
below.
The Weather link opens an on-line weather report.
Choose a weather source from the list provided.
If you turn on the Weather link,
then you will need to enter a ZIP code on the User Information form described
above.
Edit your
favorite sites
on the Favorite Sites List form.
You can enter up to five URLs. If you don't want to open that many
favorite sites, then leave some of the entries blank.
Enter full URLs on the form.
An easy way to enter a long URL is to "cut" and "paste" the URL into the form from the
"Address" or "Location" bar at the top of your browser window.
