> Respone 1 From: "Support-OrpheusComputing.com" -- Do you mean you can't find the location of the "Favorites" folder in IE? If not, please explain.-- Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com Answer to Response 1 -- Finding the IE folder is not the issue. In short, I don't see any way of finding any one favorite by inserting the URL of that favorite in the Find. In other words --- here in IE, in the Menu bar, under Favorites, I have two options: 1) Add to Favorites, and 2) Organize Favorites. Adding to Favorites is not my concern now. In Organize Favorites there are four buttons: 1) Create Folder, 2) Move to Folder, 3) Rename, and 4) Delete. And within that Organize Favorites window, if I right-click any one folder in the right pane, I can only find what is only within that particular folder (there is no way of highlighting the entire pane, and that's another problem). Besides that, even within a particular subfolder (which one might create): you can only "find" using the name of the URL or some text --- but NO way of finding using the URL of any favorites within that subfolder and no way of finding any "unfoldered" favorite (again, using the URL of that unfoldered favorite). I don't use Netscape anymore because it was giving me some trouble with my website (as Hugh says, something I mess around with) because what looked all rght in Netscape didn't have the same look in IE ... and he's right, especially according to the "who's using what browser statistics" but it sure was easier for me to get around the Bookmarks folder, certainly to find any bookmark only using the URL. It was convenient if I wanted to see if some site I might be looking at and wanted to save was already in my Bookmarks folder; I would enter the URL to see if maybe I already had it, EVEN if I had changed the name of the site in the Bookmarks folder ... the URL would always be the same. This is an aside occuring to me while I'm writing this ... truth is I never use the Favorites I have (including the many Bookmarks I moved into Favorites). Maybe I use a dozen on a regular basis which I now keep in the Links Bar. And for anything else, with Google, who needs any sites saved (except for maybe a temporary duration). I must have a few hundred "favorites" that I never look at. If I find the courage (that's a good Find), I'll delete the whole mess, making this entire question unecessary --- but I'm curious anyway ...
