Peter,

Internet Explorer does not have a setting which can be changed,  MS Word
does.  It all depends on the application.

What you are describing is not a "universal" windows setting.  It is
something that is unique to each individual program.  So you would have to
go into the TOOLS/OPTIONS/CONFIGURATION/SETTINGS/whatever for each program
to make changes.
