Browsing the Web

Finding the web pages you want

To start browsing the web type a website address into the browser address bar, or click on any link on your home page.

Setting multiple start up pages

If you check more than one website whenever you start up your browser, you can save yourself some time by setting up multiple start up pages. Deepnet Explorer automatically opens the page you select whenever you launch the browser.

To open multiple pages whenever you start Deepnet Explorer navigate to the page you want to view on startup. Click Favorites > Add to Start Pages from the browser menu then click Yes to confirm you would like to add the page. When you next open your browser the page will display automatically.

To remove a page from the start pages click Favorites > Organize Favorites > Start Pages. Highlight the page not required then click the Delete to the left.

Storing your favorite web pages

When you find Web sites or pages that you like, you store them as favorites, so it's easy to find them again in the future.

To add a Web page to your list of favorite pages, click Favorites > Add to favorites from the browser menu. Any time you want to open that page, just click the Favorites button on the toolbar, and then click the shortcut in the Favorites list.
If there is one page you visit most, you can make it your home page so that it appears every time you start Deepnet Explorer or click the Home button on the toolbar.

Note

If you forget to add Web pages to your Favorites, click the History button on the toolbar. The History list shows where you've been - today, yesterday, or a few weeks ago. Click a name from the list to display the page.
