Organize Your Bookmarks
If you use the Internet on a regular basis, you probably have accumulated a
large collection of miscellaneous bookmarks. To avoid the hassle of scouring
your entire collection to find one specific bookmark — which could make finding a needle in a haystack seem easy — you can separate and organize them with a few simple techniques:
1. Double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop.
2. A window opens. Double-click the icon for your C: drive
3. Double-click the Documents and Settings folder.
4. Double-click the folder containing the name of your Windows account. For example, if your account is named Bob, then double-click the Bob folder.
5. Double-click the Favorites folder, which contains your bookmarks.
6. Some bookmarks have long names that are difficult to read. To give a
bookmark a shorter name, right-click it, select Rename, and then type a new name.
7. To make it easier to find a particular bookmark while surfing the Internet, you can organize your bookmarks into separate folders with easily identifiable names as follows:
a. Click the File drop-down menu located in the upper-left corner
of the Favorites folder.
b. Select New.
c. Select Folder.
d. A New Folder appears. Type a name for it that indicates what kind of bookmarks it will contain. For example, you could call the folder Shopping and use it to store all of the bookmarks to your favorite Internet stores.
e. Repeat this process until you have created enough unique folders to store your different types of bookmarks.
f. If you change your mind and want to give a folder a different name, right-click it, select Rename, and then type a new name.
8. Now you can begin to move your bookmarks into the folders you created:
a. To move a single bookmark, click it, and then drag-and-drop it onto a folder.
b. To move several bookmarks at once, hold down the Ctrl key while clicking the names of each bookmark. Once all relevant bookmarks are highlighted, drag-and-drop them onto a folder.
