Number Of Favorites

[marvo]

How many "favorites" can IE 6.0 have? Is there limit
either number of favorites or number of characters
in its file?

Hi marvo

You can have many more Favorites if you sort them into folders. However,
Frank Saunders, MS-MVP, used to post the suggestion to keep the number of
Favorites per folder to 190 or they might not sort.

To organize our Favorites into folder easier, try the free utility here:

FavOrg: To set Favicons - Free
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Bookmark-Managers/favorg.shtml
It also verifies whether your links in Favorites are stll good.

I use it, as I have to keep a lot of Favorites.

Hope this helps.

There is no limit that I know of - with the exception of not
being able to use non alphanumeric characters for file names
or in file names, such as < [ # / \ ] { } ~ > , etc.
