RETURNING TO A PREVIOUS SITE
Internet Explorer enables you to move effortlessly from one Web document to another. As you browse through the Web, it's all too easy to forget how you arrived at a particular site, making it difficult to return to that site at a later time. You could click the Back button repeatedly, but that is somewhat tedious, and further, it works only for the particular session. What if you wanted to return to a site you visited last Monday? Internet Explorer anticipates the problem and provides two different sets of links, the Favorites list and the History list.
The Favorites list in Figure 2a consists of sites that you save with the expectation of returning to those sites at a future time. Once you arrive at a site that you consider special, just pull down the Favorites menu and click the Add to Favorites command. Internet Explorer then creates a link to that site within the Favorites list. The links can be stored individually (e.g., NTSB - Home Page), or they can be stored with related links in a folder (e.g., Microsoft Links). The typical user starts by creating individual links, then eventually opts for folders to organize the links more efficiently.
