In IE6 when clicking on Favorites >> Add to Favorites , a window appeared and
had had the list of folders and favorites in it. But unlike IE7, in IE6 I
thought it was possible to expand / contract the folder views in that window.
Currently in IE7 I just get a long list of folders, all with their Yellow
Folder Icons, and everything in the entire Favorites folder is expanded.

I can view the favorites easily enough, by putting them in the pinned up
"Favorites Center", but even when going through the Favorites Center and
selecting "Add to Favorites", it's still the same already expanded list of
folders that appears.


Is there some way to not have to view adding favorites this way [other than
just adding them anywhere and then using Explorer or 'Organize Favorites' to
move them where I'd like them to be]?

Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm afraid what you see "Expanded Folders" is what you get in IE7.
Unfortunately, IE8 Beta exibits the same behavior:(


Good luck,

A way around this problem is, while viewing the page you wish to put in favorites,

• open the "Start" menu,
• right-click "Favorites",
• from the resulting menu select "Explore",
• in the resulting Windows Explorer window navigate to the folder in which you want the favorites entry,
• drag the icon in the left end of the "Address" text-box into that folder,
• optionally rename the shortcut in the manner of any other file renaming.
