"Favorites" refers to websites that you have chosen to be stored in a list in Internet Explorer. The favorites list is also sometimes referred to as bookmarks. This allows you to easily navigate back to websites that you use often or want to visit again. The favorites list is accessible from within Explorer and from your hard drive folders. You can share your favorites list with others by printing, e-mailing or posting it on a website.
