 Imagine
yourself surfing the
Net. You're cruising
along from one Web site
to another. Seeing this,
seeing that. Catching
one of these, one of
those. Suddenly, you
stop, stare into the
screen, and wonder:
"How did I get
here?" Good thing
Internet Explorer 5 is
there to keep you on
track! The History list
in this crafty browser
remembers when and where
you've surfed. So if you
want to go back to a
terrific page you saw
yesterday, open your
History list and do the
old
click-a-roo! |

You can check out a lot of
Web sites during a good Web
surfing session. That's really
the essence of Web surfing - to
go from one Web site to another,
not knowing where you'll end up
next. It's great to move along
so quickly, but what happens
when you want to go back to look
at something in particular?
Fortunately, you can use IE5's
History list to go back to any
one of the sites you've seen -
and it keeps track of all the
sites you've viewed in the last
few days, hours, or minutes. To
open the History list:
1)
Click the History button on
the toolbar. The History
window appears to the left of
the main IE5 window, complete
with all your History links.

A Web site is made up of Web
pages. Some Web sites have only
one page, while others are
composed of dozens of pages. The
History list keeps track of
which Web pages you've visited
and organizes them in a variety
of ways.
To view links in the History
list by date:
1) Click a week or day
in the History bar. A list of
Web site folders appears.
2) Click a Web site
folder to display individual
pages, and then click the page
icon to display the Web page.

You can tell IE5 how long to
save information on pages you've
visited. This way, you can
control the size of your list -
which can grow pretty big if you
visit a lot of sites every day. To
set the number of days pages are
saved in the History list:
1)
Click Tools on the Menu bar,
and then choose Internet
Options. The Internet Options
dialog box appears.
2) Click the General
tab.
3) In the History area,
click the spin-control to
change the number of days that
the History list keeps track
of your pages.
4)
Click OK on the Internet
Options dialog box.

You
can clear the History list if
you want to free up some disk
space. To

1)
Click Tools on the Menu bar,
and then choose Internet
Options. The Internet Options
dialog box appears.
2) Click the General
tab.
3) In the History area,
click the Clear History
button. The Internet Options
pop-up box appears. Click OK
in the Internet Options pop-up
box.
4)
Click OK in the Internet
Options dialog box.
