Sort Favorites?

[clintonG]

I know I can sort Favorites -- one miserable folder at a time -- but I
wonder if anybody knows of a more efficient way to keep favorites and their
folders sorted? A registry hack? A utility? I open Favorites in the task
pane frequently and there is no way to sort anything when using the task
pane.

Offhand, I can't think of a way to keep them sorted but you could set
up a .reg file and delete the Registry key in a flash.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Favorites

Which would result in what Alan?

Which would result in all the favorites and folders all being sorted
next time you start IE.
You would have to do it whenever you wanted the lot sorted again.

I looked into the registry. I see what you mean now. Thanks for the tip. I
see other response referring to solutions and I may be able to use my
emerging .NET Framework development skills to create a RegistryKeyWhacker.
