Alphabetize your Favorites (or Bookmarks)

Submitted by Rick on March 5, 2007 - 7:54am.

Sort menus alphabetically This question came up a couple of times on the show on Saturday and numerous times recently via email; How do I alphabetize my favorites or bookmarks?

Internet Explorer

Click Favorites from the menus
RIGHT Click on any item in the favorites list
Click Sort by Name from the menu

Mozilla Firefox

Click Bookmarks from the menus
RIGHT Click on any item in the bookmarks list
Click Sort by Name from the menu

That's it! You can do that as often as you need to keep your lists in order. Incidentally, you can apply this same technique to your programs menu...

Click Start
Click All Programs (Programs)
RIGHT Click on any item in the programs list
Click Sort by Name

AOL users, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can alphabetize your favorites without laboriously moving them in place yourself.

Thus, reason #212 why I don't like AOL and think that absolutely no one should be using this feature crippled service that worked OK in the 80's and early 90's, but has no place in today's Internet world.

follow up question about the deletion of Musicmatch

Submitted by Smart Computer User on March 10, 2007 - 4:08pm.

Hey Rick,

Thanks so much for your help today on the radio show. I've followed through by reinstalling the Musicmatch program and then getting to the Safe Mode screen by using the F8 key as the computer is turned on. Once there, however, I don't see what to highlight in order to delete a program. Thanks for any help.
