Greetings All-

Could anyone tell me what I could do to sort the Favorites menu into
alphabetical order? Is there a setting in group policies for this?

IE-specific newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...plorer.general

State your IE version and full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3) in your
first post.

And why is there a need to post your Windows & IE versions? Should be able
to sort by name if on IE6, 7 or 8 unless a registry key holding the binary
value has become corrupt. In this case, it falls into a Windows XP newsgroup
not an IE one

Use the menu option Favorites (menu option as in
File-Edit-View-Favorites-Tools-Help)
and when a favorite flies out, rightclick on it and select "Sort by
name"
Don't use the Favorites panel. It must be the menu option or you may
also do it from Start-Favorites

The above may vary only slightly with IE versions so please post to
the IE group with detail of your version if necessary.
Please try the IE7/IE8 group.
The recommended newsgroup is microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

In a proper newsreader:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...plorer.general

If you must use a web interface:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...plorer.general

I haven't found anything that will sort them however you can drag and drop
the items within the list to sort them one by one.

I hope you find a better way cause that might help me in future too.

Good Luck

You can also create a subfolder in the favorites menu and that seems to sort
the links alphabetically.

You would think that would work, but for me it does't.

Would you care to elaborate on the registry binary issue?

Why? IE7 is far more secure than IE6 and IE8 is far more secure than IE7.

START | RUN | type REGEDIT & press ENTER

Navigae to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder

You will find the binary key in the right pane under the FAVORITES subkey

Always backup your registry before tampering with it: FILE menu | EXPORT |
type a name & click SAVE

Make sure you are here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder

Right-click the FAVORITES subkey & delete it

Close the registry editor & restart your computer

Go into your favourites, right-click and ssort by name

Please post back

OK, it seems that openging the favourites menu from the start menu as
SPAMCOP User suggested did what I needed it to for now, if need be I will
try the other registry suggestion.

Thank you all to those that replied...

Or post IE-specific question in an IE-specific newsgroup.
