Use Tips about Internet Explorer Favorites

You may have several sites that favor best. Every time when you revisit these sites again, you will have to type the site URL one character by one character. Or just you come across a useful website that you want to browse it again next time, but the site URL is too long and complicated to remember. If there is a shortcut that could simplify the procedures and make you easily access them, which would be a good idea. Yes, it is Favorites (Bookmarks).
