I have IE 6.0 and have been trying all of the different remedies found in
this discussion group's responses but still no "Sort By Name". Can anyone
help?
Thanks.

Not sure what you mean by no 'Sort by Name'.
Left click on the top 'Favourites' - not the one with a star - then right
click on ANY of the entries in the list - scroll down to 'sort by name'
which is just above 'properties' Click on that and that should do it.

you have to use the FAVORITES that is in the START menu. not the FAVORITES in IE.

Open Favorites from the menu item, not the toolbar icon. Then right click
any of them and choose Sort by Name.

If you want them to automatically alpha-sort even as new entries are added,
you need a registry edit. Navigate to:

HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Menu
Order\Favorites

and delete the value named 'Order'. Also delete this value for any
subfolders. Then, with the favorite key highlighted, click on Edit >
Permissions and deny 'Full Access' to Administrators, yourself, etc. This
will prevent the key from being automatically recreated.
 
Problem in IE7. After applying KB928090 under XP Pro SP2 my favorites get
resorted after every start of IE. Lists folders first and then bookmarks
alphabetically.
Is there some new option here? I installed same update on laptop and it
works fine.

Try it both from the menu and from the star. Which works depends on your
IE version.
