Creating a personal bookmark on Internet Explorer (IE) is easy. It lets you have quick access to a site you frequently use, or just for an easy way to get to a site that you wanted to check out at a later date. Learning how to make a bookmark is a good way to make your browsing experience productive and convenient, and the best news: it’s very easy to do.
Steps
- Launch the Internet Explorer. Double-click on the IE icon on your Windows desktop. It is the blue “e” icon with the yellow diagonal ring.
- Alternatively, use the Start menu search feature if you do not have icons on your desktop. Click the Windows orb at the lower-left corner, which doubles as the Start menu, then click on the text box right above it upon opening. Type in “Internet Explorer,” and the search results should give you the browser’s shortcut. Simply click the resulting shortcut to launch the browser.
- Head to a site you want to bookmark. Enter the URL of the site you want to bookmark on the address bar at the top of the screen. You can also click a link to the site you want from another web page.
- Make sure you are at the specific page you want to bookmark, as some web pages have many sections. It can be helpful to reduce the number of clicks it requires to get to the page you actually want.
