Because the VC Home Page is used to post announcements, all Vernon College computers should display the VC Home Page when Internet Explorer is started. Your computer is probably set to display http://www.vrjc.cc.tx.us . That is exactly the same page as http://www.vernoncollege.edu. The pages will always be identical. However, in order to see the new name in the location box of your browser window, you must make a minor change.

There are 3 easy steps and you should all complete them without any assistance. If you have problems, contact Information Technology ext. 2300.

Before you begin, you should either print these instructions or open a second browser window. Use one window to view the instructions and the second window to make your configuration changes.

Step 1

First, we must go to the area of Internet Explorer that allows you to change your personnel preferences and account settings. With Internet Explorer open do the following:

1. Click on Tools.
   (This is Version 6 - Ealier versions may not have a tools option on the menu, try Edit or View)
2. Click on Internet Options.
