Posted July 23, 200816 yr XP Help had a Favorites feature that allowed the user to bookmark topics. I liked it for a couple of reasons: 1) Some subjects take alot of effort to find because the terminology is hard to identify or because the information is spread out into several topics. Bookmarking allowed me to get back to the info I found on a given subject without redoing a time-consuming search a few months later. 2) When searching for one subject, I come across something else that I would like to look into later. Without bookmarks, it's hard to remember where the side issue was located (or what it was called). Is there a way to activate the Help Favorites functionality in Vista? And, BTW, why is there no Help index??? I guess search is supposed to replace the index, but searching brings in lots of extraneous info or sometimes nothing (if too specific). The index is a fast first effort that can be followed by searching if the subject isn't listed...
