Organizing and editing FAVORITES

[Ron Hirsch]

I understand how to edit and organize and sort the Favorites in IE 6. I also
have a ZD Favorites utility to do this. But I find both of these cumbersome,
and slow.

Is there any reason that I cannot simply use a file manager such as
PowerDesk to do my editing and organizing? It's a simple matter to create
folders, and move items around among these folders, and to edit/rename and
fine tune the complete tree of things. And the reaction time to do this is
far better in a file manager than doing this within IE 6.

If the final Favorites listing does not stay sorted as they they were in the
file manager, I can simply do the sorting part within IE itself.

I don't see why not - after all Favorites is just a folder like any other
folder and can be accessed and managed the same as any other folder.

Yes, you can do that. Moving, deleting, and renaming favorites is much
easier with any kind of file manager than doing it directly through IE,
especially if you want to make a significant number of changes.

Ron,

You can use Windows Explorer to manipulate the favorites. I find it
much easy than Organize, which I haven't used for years.
