AOL Favourite Places are similar to the 'bookmark' features found in many web browsers. They let you save locations you find on the AOL service or the internet so you can get back to them with just one click.

Best of all, your favourites are automatically stored on the AOL service if you use AOL 8.0 or higher, so you can access them no matter where you sign on, even if you're on a friend's computer.

If you choose, you can store your favourites only on your computer (not on the AOL service), and they will not be accessible when you sign on from any other computer. To keep your favourites on your computer only, sign on to AOL and visit AOL Keyword: Favourite Places Preferences.
