ORGANIZING FAVORITES
By CarolinaKid (Milt) from Cloudeight Forums

PART 1:
To organize sites on similar topics you can create folders that will contain the related site addresses. You can name the folders so you know what kind of sites are there. For example: ENTERTAINMENT, or GEOGRAPHY & MAPS, or MEDICAL, PHOTOS & GRAPHICS, etc. To create a new folder, go to Internet Explorer and do the following:

•Click "favorites" then "Organize favorites".
•Click "Create folder" and type in the name. Give folder any descriptive name you want.
•Click "Create folder" again to create another folder,
• When you have finished creating folders click "close".
•Then, click FAVORITES and right click any folder on the list and then click "sort by name". That will put the folders in the proper order. Then, go on to part 2 below.

PART 2:
You can then move your existing individual favorite sites into an appropriate folder.
1.Click "Favorites", then "Organize favorites".
2.Scroll down to find a favorite site that you want to move to a folder and single click it.
3.Click "Move to folder" and single click the name of the Folder where you want to put that site. Click "ok".
4.To move another favorite site, just repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
5.When you finish moving sites to folders, click "close".

PART 3:
To add a new site in FAVORITES:
•While you are on the site click "Favorites"
•Click "add to favorites"
•Click the folder where you want to add the site.
•Click "ok". The site will go into the favorites folder that you chose.
Having your sites organized in folders will allow you to find them much easier. After you have organized the sites into folders, you will be able to point at any folder and see what sites are there. You can then click the site to visit it.

If you have a site in Favorites that you do not want to keep, you would right click the site and click “delete”

This is my favorites folders:
