 With
so much on the Web,
you'll surely find Web
sites that you really
like. You'll probably
return to these sites
often - and after a
while, you could even
call them favorites.
Internet Explorer 5
gives you a Favorites
list where you can store
links to your very
favorite Web pages in
the whole World Wide
Web! You can add as many
Favorites as you like -
but just remember to
organize them into
easy-to-find categories.
After all, you wouldn't
want to lose that link
to the Ricky Martin fan
page. Would you? |

Many
people have Web pages they like
to visit all the time, so it's
nice to get to them quickly. IE5
provides a Favorites list just
for this purpose - to store
links to pages you go to most
often. You can add a new link
whenever you want. Then, when
you want to go to one of your
favorite places on the Web, you
can link to it with one simple
click. To
add a link to your Favorites
list:
1)
Go to the Web page you want to
add to your Favorites list.
2) Click Favorites on
the Menu bar, then choose Add
to Favorites. The Add
Favorites dialog box appears
containing a name for the
link.
3)
If you want to give your link
a different name, type it into
the Name text box. However,
you don't have to change the
name if you like what's there
already.
4)
Click OK in the Add Favorites
dialog box.
TIP:
If you are renaming a link in
the Add Favorites dialog box,
try to be specific. Favorites
lists can grow quickly and old
links are as memorable as
leftovers in the fridge.

It's
easy to look at what's in your
Favorites list. All you do is
open it. To view links in your
Favorites list:
1)
Click the Favorites button on
the toolbar. The Favorites
window appears to the left of
the main IE5 window, complete
with all your Favorites links.
TIP:
If the Favorites window is
already open, you can add a new
link by clicking the Add button,
above the contents of the list.

It's
always easier to find things
when you're organized. This
maxim applies not only to your
desk, but also to your Favorites
list. Once you have collected a
number of Favorites links, you
can organize them into folders.
You may want to create folders
with names like these: Lesson
Plans, Science 8, Polar Bears,
On-line Tutorials. Then, you can
just click the file and see a
list of all links in that
category. To

button. A New Folder file
appears on the list of files
in the Organize Favorites
dialog box. The words
"New Folder" are
highlighted in blue.
4)
Type a name for your
folder over the highlighted
"New Folder" text
and press the Enter key.
5)
Click the Close button on the
Organize Favorites dialog box.
You can create as many folders
as you like - and once you've
done this, you can start
moving your Favorites links
into their new folders.
To
move your Favorites links into
new folders:
1)
Click the Favorites button on
the toolbar. The Favorites
window opens on the left side
