# About favorite pages

When you find a Web page you like, you can keep track of the page so it’s easy to visit in the future. There are several ways you can keep your favorite pages within easy reach.

- Add a Web page to your Favorites list. Then, any time you want to visit that page, click the page on the Favorites menu or in the Favorites pane.
- If you have a handful of pages you visit most often, add them to the Favorites Bar.
- If there is one page you visit most, make it your home page so that it appears when you click Home and each time you start Microsoft Internet Explorer.

If you use Internet Explorer on several computers or you use more than one browser, you can easily share favorite pages between computers or applications by importing them. Internet Explorer can import any collection of links saved as an HTML file. After you import a favorites file to Internet Explorer, you can find its links in the favorites folder that has the same name as the file you imported. You can also export your Favorites list as an HTML file.

## About your Favorites list

The Favorites list provides a convenient place to store links to Web pages you visit most. You can see the contents of your Favorites list in three places: in the Favorites pane, on the Favorites menu, and in the Favorites window (on the Window menu, click Favorites). As you collect favorite pages, you can organize your Favorites list by rearranging pages in the list, by moving pages into folders, and by adding dividers.

In your Favorites list, you’ll find the Toolbar Favorites folder, which contains the pages you added to the Favorites Bar. You’ll also find the Page Holder Favorites folder, which contains the pages you added to your Page Holder Favorites list, and the Auction Favorites folder, which contains your tracked auction pages.
