By using 'This', you can set various information of ABC, but you haven't done it yet. Is 'the' needed? specifying is better than setting?

So, 'By using the "settings" on the menubar, you can specify/set information of/in the Internet Explorer.'  Liveinjapan

Yes  Let's say it's a browser such as IE or Firefox or Chrome. 'This' is the settings item you might see on the upper menu bar or somewhere. So, 'By using the "settings" on the menubar, you can specify/set information of/in the Internet Explorer.'  By using "settings" on the menubar, you can specify information  to/for Internet Explorer.'  Instead of your original 2 sentences above, I''d say This is for specifying search information to/for Internet Explorer.
