There is a means to have it displayed on the links bar in IE, as well. I like to use Links for many quickly needed sites, such as my Google reader, Google Scholar for grad school research, my undergrad class list admin site – you get the picture

In both FF & IE, make the Links Toolbar visible – Click View, Toolbars, then make sure Bookmarks Toolbar (FF) or Links (IE) is checked.

For Firefox just follow your instructions. In IE, do as you have suggested but when the pop-up appears, click the down arrow to reveal all your folders, and select “Links”.

The link is now deposited at the right-most end of your links, in both Toolbars.

This where I have found the drag-and-drop function works well. If you have more links than space on the link bar, click on the right >> to reveal the unseen-but-still-there links, place the cursor on the “Go to Home” icon left-click-and-hold, and drag it up onto the links bar, as far left as you wish. My convention is to place all such Home icons on the far left; others may wish to keep it separate from the Home icon on the Navigation Toolbar..YMMV.

Another technique I rely on is to change the name of the link, to a shorter one that allows me to make visible as many links as possible. Right-click on the mouse while the cursor is on the target icon, and select “Rename” in IE, or “Properties” in FF. In IE, a pop-up appears in which the current name is displayed. Enter your preferred name, then click the “OK” button.. In FF, as Properties is selected a pop-up also appears; enter the name change in the “Name” window, then click “Save Changes”. I have changed the name to “Home” without the “Go to” to have yet one more link displayed.

Again, thanks for another Practical Hack!
