Configuring the iCloud Control Panel
Before we proceed to using iCloud services on Windows, we need to install the iCloud Control Panel. In Chapter 2, Getting Started with iCloud, we learned how to install iCloud Control Panel on Windows. In this chapter, we will learn how to configure iCloud so that it is usable on Windows.
Syncing bookmarks
On Mac OS X and iOS, iCloud syncs all bookmarks between the Safari web browser on each platform. On Windows, iCloud supports bookmarks syncing with Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome.

Firefox and Chrome support were added in mid-2013 and require an add-on or plugin for each browser.
To activate iCloud bookmarks syncing, open iCloud Control Panel and click on the Bookmarks checkbox to activate. iCloud will ask which browser you want to sync with. You can choose more than one browser if you have Internet Explorer, Firefox, and/or Chrome...
