(For some reason I thought it was a 'special' folder that couldn't be opened.) I can tell you that it's a heck of a lot easier than trying to use the fiddly tool in IE5. Second tip: If you're like me, you probably want to open TWO Explorer windows to gain a better perspective on the folders you're manipulating (e.g. to see the contents of the source and target folder when you're dragging/dropping files). Now, despite the fact that it's hardly a mammoth task to open Explorer twice then tile the two windows, it is a slightly irritating delay when you want to get straight into it. There's a freeware utility called DoubleExplore that will do it for you. Get it here: <www.jumaros.de You can specify which directories to open in each pane and tell it to keep the last sizing. I've found it to be very good. Cheers John	Guest (0)

One thing I should clarify: I meant of course it was easier to use Explorer for MAJOR reorganisations of the favourites. Just moving one or two is still most easily done within IE.	Guest (0)
