Hello,

Appreciate the information... the first link you listed didn't work, took a
look at another, and the last required a download to view it. Not trusting
downloads these days... long story.

Also didn't want to create a separate folder to put my favorites in... The
reason I am so fruatrated is that this once worked! I was able to organize
all of my list the way I wanted it, but for some reason it doesn't work
anymore. And I did get all the lastest Microsoft updates. Explorer is suppose
to do this! I am trying to fix some fix that will make it work the way it is
suppose to...

If sitll no joy....then try this, it's a very good organizing tool.

FavOrg: To save Favicons - Free

This allows you to save them permanently in a different folder and
re-associate your favorites with the stored icons. It also verifies whether
your links in Favorites are still good.

I have a 'long' list of favorites in my Favorites folder, and I try and
keep
them organized. However if I should change, or move a specific favorite up
to
the top of my list, close out of Explorer, then reopen it, it got moved
back
to where it was. It is 'really' getting frustrating as I have already
spent
hours organizing my favorites the want I want them viewed down the column,
and they just won't stay where I put them. I have individual favorites as
well as file folders with lists of favorotes in them, and my list will
show
several file folders, then individual favorites, then more file folders,
then
more individual favorites, 'and so on'! They don't seem to follow any
pattern, such as individuals, folders, or even alphabetical. I have tried
moving them with the favorites column open and I have tried moving them in
the 'Organize Favorites' window, but neither will hold them in the order
that
I want them in.

First time here, so if anyone can help, please do so...
