You can check out a lot of Web sites during a good Web surfing session. That's really the essence of Web surfing - to go from one Web site to another, not knowing where you'll end up next. Fortunately, you can use IE5's History list to go back to any one of the sites you've seen - and it keeps track of all the sites you've viewed in the last few days, hours, or minutes. The History window appears to the left of the main IE5 window, complete with all your History links. A Web site is made up of Web pages.
Some Web sites have only one page, while others are composed of dozens of pages.
The History list keeps track of which Web pages you've visited and organizes them in a variety of ways. A list of Web site folders appears. You can tell IE5 how long to save information on pages you've visited. This way, you can control the size of your list - which can grow pretty big if you visit a lot of sites every day. The Internet Options dialog box appears.
