First visit all of the links on the page. For each, if the link opens a new
window, close it. If it opnes in teh same window, hit back.

then hit REFRESH.

Notice that while all links SHOULd be displayed in the visited color,
usually not ALL of the links that open in a new window (the first 4) will
appear as visited. The links that open in the same window will always
appear as visited.

How can I get IE to reliably indicate whether the user visited a link or
not?
