Loading Your Favorite Web Pages into the Toolbar |
|
After surfing the Internet for a couple of years, you know exactly where you want to go when you log on. But if you have more than a couple of websites you like to visit, the list of links you keep adding to in the Favorites or Bookmarks menu can get out of hand. Both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator offer a Links toolbar you can customize to keep your favorites in easy reach. It's analogous to setting presets on your car stereo.
Here are the instructions for Internet Explorer.
- Right-click anyplace in the gray bars at the top of the Internet Explorer window to bring up a listing of menu bars showing. Make sure the Address and Links bars are checked.
- Load one of your favorite web pages.
- In the Address bar, click and drag the small web document icon (blue lower case "e") into the Links toolbar.
- Once you have a few Links in the toolbar, you can rearrange their order by clicking and dragging them in front and behind each other. A thin dark bar will appear while you're dragging one Link between two others, indicating you can release your mouse button to move the Link.
- By right-clicking on each Link individually you can Delete or Rename them. By giving your Link buttons shorter names you can fit more of them on the toolbar.
(Netscape Navigator users can use the Communicator > Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks... menu. The process is similar.)
