To access the scrapbook on your Mac, open a new window in Internet Explorer 5, and click on the 'Scrapbook' tab on the left hand side. Microsoft pitches the scrapbook as a way to store digital receipts . This is, in fact, one of its best uses. If you purchase something online, you can save a 'photograph' of the confirmation page into your scrapbook. It's a good idea too, because often 'receipt' pages are dynamically generated, and cannot be retrieved again.
Merchants are generally good about advising customers to print a copy of the page for their records.
There are other great uses too. Web sites that require a username are perfect for the scrapbook. Normally you load the login page, and then must laboriously type in your username and password, if you can remember them. But in IE 5 just complete this procedure once, then add the page to your scrapbook. The next time you want to sign on to the page, just click on the page in your scrapbook.
