How to Access Previously Viewed Web Pages on My Computer
By Art Corvelay
Accessing previously viewed Web pages on your computer may be important for several reasons. For example, you may want to find a website you accessed a few days ago, but can no longer remember the address for. You also might want to make sure that your kids are only accessing and viewing websites that you have approved for them. Regardless of the reason, you can easily access previously viewed Web pages on your computer through your Internet browser.

Click the "Bookmarks" menu at the top of the page and then select "Organize Bookmarks."
