Subject: RE: Help for Outlook Express IE6
I'm in Windows XP.

Frankly, these web addy's change so often, sometimes it's easier just to Google to whatever organization I'm looking for. I use History more than Favorites, these days, too.

But to organize the stuff in Favorites-- I'd suggest:

1. Use more folders, with less stuff in each one.

2. I use the menu down the side of the page, from the button in the toolbar, instead of the menu that drops down from the menu bar on the top of the screen. It clicks open each folder more quickly than when I use the drop-down menu from the top.

3. I use Windows Explorer's file manager function to edit the contents of the folders periodically, getting rid of stuff I never use.

4. I forget how, but I know there was a way in Windows ME to copy all that stuff. You could keep a backup copy in a document folder and only go in there when you need something obscure.
