Ordering Favorites

You know in Internet Explorer you can arrange your Favorites in folders through the Organize Favorites command under the Favorites menu. But this is clumsy, at best.

If you are more comfortable working with real folders and shortcuts, you can handle this task more efficiently in Windows Explorer.

Open Windows' Explorer (right-click Start and select Explore) and navigate to the Favorites folder in the Windows directory. Under here you will see all the favorites listed as shortcuts, including a Links folder of favorites that appear on the Links toolbar in Internet Explorer. Move these shortcuts around, create new folders for them or delete them as you wish, and the effects will take place with your Favorites in Internet Explorer.
