How can I alphabetize the fovorites list in IE, particularily IE 6?

In IE, scroll down your list of favorites, and right click on any one of them.

Select sort by name, and left click on it.

The next time you open favorites, they will be in alphabetical order.

The Chas is correct, except you should see the alphabetized list immediately. Using the Right Click option on the mouse to pull up the Context Menu often gives users overlooked options and possibilities. The context menu can be used on virtually any highlighted item in Windows 98 and up. Some Windows 95 items have the right click option, but it really didn't come into play until windows 98. You can sort your Start, Programs menu in the same way. You can look at Properties of shortcuts on yourdesktop to make them open maximized or to find where the actual program is located.

Yes, that's correct. A lot of users search from the left window pane also and find that they cannot print what is in that window, only what is on the right pane. I usually encourage my users to use search engines via the favorites pull down menu rather than the default one using the search button. The default search engine at msn can be changed via a registry edit if you're interested--contact me via TR.

First, thanks for the help.

I discovered that you must use the Favorites list from the Menu Bar. You cannot sort from the Favorites list available/visable to the left of the IE window.
