    Don't use it. AOL Desktop software is a sickness.

    You do not need to use it if you use AOL. Your router is on permanently to make your connection and the browser just spews adverts.

    Use Chrome or even IE as a browser. CTRL & D all the way for bookmarks.

    E-mail is here;

    Wow, those were the days - the AOL browser, dialling up, and Joanna Lumley announcing that "You've got mail"

    Bookmarks are called favorites on AOL desktop, there should be a heart icon to the right of the title bar (where the windows close, minimize, etc are), or press Ctrl+Shift+F.
    To access saved favorites click the favorites button next to search the web button.
