Anchors

The Anchors window provides options for changing aspects of your display.

Miscellaneous

Change Cursor Over Anchor
changes the cursor from the standard arrow to a hand with a pointed finger when on a hyperlink. If unchecked, the cursor remains an arrow when on a hyperlink.
Underlined
underlines all anchors, which is particularly useful if you are using a black and white monitor.)
Show URL in Status Bar
displays the URL of a hyperlink in the status bar when the cursor is over a hyperlink.
Visually Age Visited Anchors
ages the anchor color from visited to unvisited color during the period defined in Expire Visited Anchors (if that box is checked and a number is entered in the field). For example, if your visited anchor color is light blue and your unvisited anchor color is navy blue, the color of visited anchors slowly changes from light blue back to navy during the period specified in Expire Visited Anchors:.
If unchecked, visited anchors remain the visited color during the period defined in Expire Visited Anchors.

Expire Visited Anchors: (days)
changes anchors from the visited color to the unvisited color after the number of days specified in the field. If unchecked, visited anchors do not revert to the unvisited color. (Additionally, disables the Visually Age Visited Anchors option that works in conjunction with the expiration information.)
