Re: Organizing Favorites Folder



Close Internet Explorer.
If your "Favorites" folder is in the default location, you can click Start>Run, type: Favorites and click OK.
This should open your Favorites folder, where you can delete favorites, move them by dragging to other sub-folders in the Favorites folder tree, create folders and sub-folders, and so forth, to organise them as you wish.

When done, close the open Favorites window and start Internet Explorer. You should see them in the new locations. Drag/drop them in the Favorites list into the order you want, if desired. If you want them alphabetically, open the Favorites list, right-click in it, and click Sort By Name in the menu that appears.

The default location for the folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Favorites

I need to organize my Favorites Folder as its very full and I can't delete
anything from it. When I click on 'organize favorites' it opens a new page
but it just says 'loading...' on that page and it won't do anything else so I
can't organize my favorites list. My kids accounts on this computer are able
to organize their favorites folder but mine won't let me. Anyone have any
idea what I can do as I have a very full folder and really need to delete
some old favorites. Thank you for any help you can give.
