A view controller, such as a scroll bar, for a first application which is currently displayed within an inactive window is detached and remotely displayed within an active window in addition to the view controller associated with the content of that active window. A Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) link is then established between the remotely displayed view controller and the first application such that user inputs to the remotely displayed view controller can be utilized to modify the display of the first application without requiring the user to activate the inactive window. In this manner data within the first application can be scrolled and visually accessed by the user while the user is working within an active window, without requiring the user to toggle the focus back and forth between two windows.

A method, system and apparatus for delivering an alternate Web page to a browser are provided. The method, system and apparatus include the implementation of indicating Web pages that are not authorized to be displayed by the browser using content filter settings, comparing the content filter settings to content labels incorporated in a requested Web page and delivering an alternate Web page, if there is a match. The filter settings are generated by the browser and sent to a server in a request message. The browser also incorporates a semaphore in the request message. The semaphore is used to indicate whether the comparison should be undertaken. Thus, if the semaphore is absent in the request message, the requested Web page is delivered to the browser as customary. Further, in the case where there is a match and there is not an alternate Web page specified, either the requested Web page may be delivered to the browser or a message may be delivered to the browser indicating that the requested web page is off-limit.
摘要:
Advanced computer hibernation functions are useful in saving a user's work environment when a user logs off a computer. The current art requires powering off the computer when entering into hibernation, and only allows a user to store a single non-reusable hibernation file for use in restoring operation when the computer is subsequently powered on. The present invention allows hibernation files to be created and stored without requiring a user to power off the computer to enter hibernation mode. Once the hibernation files are created and stored, a user achieves faster shut down of the computer when the user enters into hibernation mode by selecting from one of the existing hibernation files for advanced hibernation mode. Multiple users are allowed to save multiple work environments or files while maintaining privacy regarding each user's work environments by requiring log on identification passwords for each user.
