I have seen several questions/answers about alphabetizing web sites
within Folders under Favorites (ie the Sort By Name choice). I would
like to organize the Folders themselves. But I cannot seem to do
this. Am I missing something, or is it not possible? Thank you in
advance for any help.
Open Favorites from the menu item, not the toolbar icon. Then right click
any of them and choose Sort by Name.
If you want them to automatically alpha-sort even as new entries are added,
you need a registry edit. Navigate to:
HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Menu
Order\Favorites
and delete the value named 'Order'. Also delete this value for any
subfolders. Then, with the favorite key highlited, click on Edit >
Permissions and deny 'Full Access' to Administrators, yourself, etc. This
will prevent the key from being automatically recreated.
