Make a custom button on Internet Explorer for regularly visited sites
If you often visit a particular site, there's a quicker way to get there. Yes, you can add it to your favourites list, but a button on your browser menus is a much more direct route. Here's how:
Go to the site (in our example it's www.aol.co.uk)- Once the site is open, drag the small page icon that's in the address bar to the button bar that is normally beneath it (the icon looks like a small sheet of paper with a blue 'e' on it.)
- Right click on the button that IE will create for you, and rename it to whatever suits you
- That's it! Every time you click on the button, your site will open.
You can also drag the page icon onto your desktop, where it will create an icon for you, so that you don't even have to open IE to get to a site - just clicking on the icon will do the lot - open IE or AOL, dial up and take you where you want to be.
