Internet Explorer Wheel Mouse Tricks

If your mouse has a scroll wheel on it there are a couple of neat tricks you can do while surfing using IE that you may not be aware of.

1) Hold down the Shift key and spin the mouse wheel on a web page and Explorer goes backward or forward through your current browser session's history, depending on which direction you spin the wheel.

2) Hold down the Ctrl key and spin the wheel and text on the web page you're viewing will get larger or smaller, depending on which way you spin the wheel. For Opera and IE 7 users, it magnifies both the images and the text. This won't work on all sites. Sites using CSS to control the font size are unaffected, at least in IE.
