Product Tip of
the Month |
Saving
Website Favorites |
|
If you use the Internet, the likeliness of visiting a
website again is pretty good. It's also possible that
you already save your favorites but do you know there are at
least three ways to do this and you can even organize them?
This month we visit how to save Internet sites, organize
them, and make hot sites available via one click.
Saving to the desktop
This is a very easy function but one should take
care in doing this as pretty soon your desktop could
be cluttered with shortcuts!
If you want to save all your favorites here, we
suggest making a folder on the desktop and then
putting your favorites into the folder. This
will help with housekeeping of all those favorite
icons.
You can also make additional folders within folders
for sorting or organizing them too. |
 |
|
|
|
|
To do this, open a web browser but not fully open.
If the window opens fully, use the middle icon at
the top right portion of the window to bring it into
the middle. |
 |
|
|
|
Enter the website address that you want to visit.
After the website has displayed, simply click on the
beginning of the address as shown to the right,
holding the mouse button (left) drag this to your
desktop.
If you want, make a folder and drag to the folder.
End result shows the icon resting on the desktop. |
 |
|
Saving to the browser favorites folder
No matter what make of web browser you use,
it has a way to save favorites. Bookmarks is
another commonly used name for this function.
Most also allow the ability to organize these
favorite saves too.
If you don't organize, pretty soon it becomes a
cluttered mess much like most kids room. Try
and find a favorite in that mess. :) |
 |
|
|
|
For this example we are going to use Internet
Explorer, otherwise known as IE.
Once you have the website loaded that you wish to
save, simply click on Favorites, then from the drop
down menu, click add to favorites. |
 |
|
|
|
If you want to start organizing now, then follow a
few more steps.
Following the previous step, click Favorites, then
Add to Favorites. Since we need to create a
new organization folder, click on New Folder.
Create a name for this new folder and click Create.
This new folder should now show instantly in the
"Create In" selection. If not, simply use the
drop down selector and find the newly created
folder.
Now click Add and your favorite is now saved.

|
|
|
|
this or any favorites, just open your
web browser, then click on favorites and drill down
to the website you wish to visit. |
|
|
|
|
Saving a website as a HotSite
If you use a website VERY often, why not put it
where you can be one click away? |
 |
|
|
|
Open your web browser. Click on view, then
Toolbars, then follow over to "Links".
Now you will see a new area appear under your
toolbar area.
Enter the address of the website you wish to save.
After the page loads, click, hold and drag to the
open area.
This is the newly created area from the prior step.
Your site is now saved and obtainable in the future
by just opening the browser and clicking on this
saved link.
One click away!

Locking your Desktop |
|
 |
| Good security means
locking your desktop when leaving for extended periods,
lunch or at the end of the day. CTRL-ALT-DEL is
the simplest however you can also use the Windows + L
key to quickly lock the desktop. Many will find
this combination easier than the three finger sequence. |
