MANAGING YOUR INTERNET EXPLORER FAVORITES

I do a lot of "surfing" of the internet, and I have over 300 different web sites saved in my Favorites list. These are all organized into a system of folders and subfolders. On the Favorites menu, you can click on Organize Favorites, and then you will be able to create and delete items or move them around or rename them. The items, of course, can be folders, subfolders, and the names of the web pages as saved in them. But if I want to do a relatively massive job of reorganizing my Favorites, I prefer not to use Internet Explorer to do it. I use Windows Explorer instead. How can that be? Well, the normal location for your Favorites folder is a subfolder of your Windows folder. (Actually, I have moved mine to my D: drive, so that I can share it between the two Windows operating systems I multi-boot between, 98 and ME.) But wherever your Favorites folder is stored, it is just much easier to create, rename, delete and move things around in Windows Explorer.
