Tips & Tricks

Finding your way back to a page you saw some time ago

Let's say you're surfing and see a cool page that you want to return to. You write down the address or add it to your Favorites list -- or you think you do. Later, you can't find it. If it's a page you visited recently, Internet Explorer still remembers it via the History list.

Here's how to use it:

• Click the History button on the toolbar. The History bar appears, containing shortcuts to every page you've been to today, yesterday, the day before, and so on until it takes you back to the beginning of the week. It also keeps track of every page you've been to for the previous three weeks, which you can retrieve by clicking the level that says Week of __. The links in the week groupings are listed alphabetically.
