KNOWLEDGE
 

USING BOOKMARKS (FAVORITES)
 
Favorites, known as bookmarks in Netscape Navigator, are a convenient way to organise and link to web pages that you visit frequently.  Internet Explorer has a menu named Favorites which you can use to list web sites that you visit regularly.  To add a currently open web site to your Favorites list in Internet Explorer, i.e. bookmark a web site, select the Favorites menu and then select Add to Favorites.

If you use Internet Explorer on several computers, you can easily share Favorite items between computers by importing them.  Also, if you use both Internet Explorer and Navigator, you can keep your Favorites and bookmarks up-to-date with each other by importing them between programs.

  • To import bookmarks or Favorites, click the File menu, and then click Import and Export.
  • To export Favorites to bookmarks or Favorites on the same or another computer, click the File menu, and then click Import and Export.
 

ORGANISING BOOKMARKS (FAVORITES)
 
Favorites, or bookmarks, can be organised using the Organize Favorites option on the Favorites menu in Internet Explorer.  This option allows you, as you can see below, to create folders in which you can organise your bookmarked web sites.  This is exactly the same as creating folders/directories on your hard/floppy disc to store your files.  If done correctly your bookmarked web sites will be there for easy access in the future.
