Accelerators in Internet explorere

[mike13]

The last few times I have downloaded IE on computers, there is a question if I want to download the accelerators. What are they ? I usually just say no, but now I am getting ready to download IE9, and I know I will see the same question again. Should I download them ? Thanks, Mike

On some things if you highlight you see a box with a white/blue arrow and you can right-click and see options. I've never used them myself but it may be handy for some people. You can read about them here, with a picture of what to look for:

Tripredacus----Thanks for the reply, and link.

I was doing some more thinking about this. If accelerators gain popularity, they might help make the address bar go away. I wish there was more search providers for both IE and Firefox. For example, I have the search provider for MSKB, but wish there was one for MSDN or TechNet.
