The new version of Internet Explorer has a feature built in known as Favorites Center. This controls the favorites of the web browser, but then incorporates other features such as a RSS feed and then your recent history. All of these components, when combined together, make for an exceptional Favorites Center. Making it work to your liking, though, can be a little bit tricky.

Internet Explorer Favorites

The first feature that is obvious for a favorites center is the section of favorites. These are all the web pages that you've bookmarked because you felt they were important. However, it can quickly become cluttered if you have no organization. Organization is easy and will make searching through the favorites so much easier.

To begin with, find a new page that you want to add to your favorites. When you go to add it to favorites, hit the arrow to the right of the "Add to Favorites" button. Then click "Organize Favorites." This will allow you to go in and move things around. Create folders by clicking "new folder." Once you do that, you can drag files into the folder.

When you find a new site, you can click the folder you want to add it to and then click "Add to Favorites." This will automatically store it in that new folder and make it easier on you to organize the list of files.

Internet Explorer RSS

The next feature that is in this favorites center is a RSS feed. This will include a RSS feed for every site that you added. When looking at the IE toolbar, if the RSS button is grayed out, there is nothing new. However, if there is a story, it'll say so. The only real control you've got here is whether to have it or not. When a new article is posted on a site, your RSS will let you know. If you no longer want to receive that feed, click on the feed and then hit delete. This will remove the feed from your list.

Browsing History

Removing or organizing browsing history is one feature that is common for more web browser users. The great thing about this browsing history is that you can organize it based on the number of times you've visited it, the date last visited, and how popular it is. This makes it much easier to get to sites that you are most interested in. Google, for many people, would be on the top of the browsing history if categorized in number of visits or date.
