Returning Easily to Useful sites

Keep your favorite sites or documents a mouse click away by adding them to your Favorites list. You can easily add items to this list by using the Favorites menu. For convenient access to your favorite Web pages, click the Favorites button on the browser toolbar. This opens the Favorites bar, which contains shortcuts to all your favorite items. (Note: In My Computer, click the View menu, point to Explorer Bar, and then click Favorites.)


Exploring Your Browsing History

Want to go back to a Web page you found two weeks ago? The History list can help. If you click the History button on the browser toolbar, the History bar opens, displaying a record of all the sites you have visited in the last 20 days, including HTML pages on your computer. You can change the number of days that History keeps

Note: - In My Computer, click the View menu, point to Explorer Bar, and then click History.

You can sort the list in several ways—by site name, frequency of visits, or order visited—to make it easier to find the site you want. You can also search the list for a key word in a site name.
