Button: Favorites (IE6)

The Favorites button opens a pane on the left of the browser of shortcuts to web pages. Clicking a shortcut for a page opens the page in the browser. It beats trying to remember the URL of that great page you found last week!

Favorites pane

If you do not like using a pane, you can use the cascading Favorites menu.

These shortcuts are called bookmarks by other browsers, which store them in a separate HTM file instead of making shortcuts.

IE comes with some items already listed in Favorites, but you can add as many as you want and remove the ones you don't use. After you add several sites to the list, you will want to group them by categories in folders inside the Favorites folder.

Favorites folder in ExplorerThese Favorites are stored in the folder C:\Windows\Favorites by default, or in C:\Documents and Settings\ [your user name]\Favorites.
