Each Web page has a unique address (also referred to as a Universal Resource Location or URL).

Web addresses generally begin with an prefix which tells Explorer that it should retrieve a Web page.

The rest of the address contains the path to the Web page.

For example,
http://www.strokesurvivors.com/index.html

tells Explorer to

locate the Web site www.strokesurvivors.com (the STROKEWATCH Home Page) and

find the page index.htm .


Web addresses can be found everywhere these days: in newspapers, magazines, and even on TV.

If you have an address for a specific Web page, you can access that page directly by typing in the address in the Address field and then pressing the ENTER key. Address Bar

Graphical links work the same as text links. Click on them, and you load whatever the hyperlink points to.
