Like the previous post this is a quick posting based on a question posed in a comment on a previous blog posting.  Which was basically a complaint about not being able to pin open the favorites list in IE9 compared to previous versions of Internet Explorer. Well there is a super quick way to achieve this

 

1. open up the favourites section by pressing the star in the top right corner and then press the Pin the Favorites Center button.  This should then pin them to the left hand side of your screen.

pinned favorites list in IE9

Update 13/04/2011 - in response to Allen in the feedback to permanently have the favorites section open when you start IE9 try

Ctrl + Shift + I  (I being I for Indigo and not L for Lima)

Hopefully when you close IE9 and reopen it the favorites section should be there.

    To keep favorites section open. Go to tools on right had side of taskbar, click on tools and a drop down window should open.  Go down to explorer bars when you touch it, it opens another small window.  Just checkmark the favorites bar and that leaves it open on the left side and keeps it open all the time.
