Internet Explorer—also known as IE—is the default web browser in Windows 8. While IE offers many of the same features you would expect to find in any browser, the simplified interface may be a little confusing at first. In this lesson, you'll learn how to use the address bar, open and move between tabs, and save your favoritewebsites for quick access. We'll also talk about how to clear your browsinghistory.
[h=4]Getting Started with IE:
To open IE, locate and select Internet Explorer on the Startscreen. IE will appear.
Most browsers use an address bar for navigating to webpages and a search bar for conducting web searches. IE combines both of these elements into the address bar. By integrating Bing search technology, the address bar will offer suggestions for webpages as you type, which makes navigating the web faster and easier.
[*=left]From IE, right-click and then select the address bar at the bottom of the screen.
Clicking the address bar
[*=left]Enter a web address or search term. Suggestions will appear above the address bar as you type. Click a suggestion to navigate to a suggested site.
Suggested pages from your browsing history will appear with their own icon.
Suggested pages from Bing search results will appear with the Internet Explorer icon.
You can also press Enter to conduct a web search or typeacomplete web address and then press Enter to navigate to a webpage.
[*=left]Right-click and then select the New Tab button at the top of the screen.
Clicking the New Tab button
[*=left]The address bar will appear at the bottom of the screen. Type an address and press Enter or select a Frequently visited site to navigate to a new page. In our example, we'll navigate to ********.
[h=3]Favoriting Websites If you find a website you'd like to visit later, you can add it to your bookmarks, which are known as favorites in IE. Instead of having to remember an exact web address, you can just scroll through your favorites until you see the site you want. You can favorite a website to create a shortcut in the address bar or pin a site directly to the Start screen.
[*=left]Navigate to the website you wish to favorite.
[*=left]Right-click and then select the Pin button from the menu at the bottom of the screen.
Clicking the Pin button
[*=left]A dialog box will appear. Select Add to Favorites.
