The Favorites Folder


Photo of Computer

We all have favorite Internet sites that we like to visit frequently. There is a quick and easy way to save a site in a special folder that remembers the address so that you can return to it with just a click of the mouse.

If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, which is by far the most common browser, look at the row of words across the top of the screen and find "Favorites". Click on Favorites and move the mouse down and click on "Add to Favorites". A window will pop up and you can type in another name for the site should the name that is already there is not descriptive enough. Click on OK and the site will be added.

The next time you wish to visit the site, go to Favorites, move the mouse down to where the site is listed, click on the name of the site and you will go there without having to type in the address.

If you use the Netscape or Opera browser, the process is similar, but the folder is called "Bookmarks".
