Favorites involuntary scrambling

[programmernovice]

Hi, every time I start my computer my previous ordering of IE
Favorites is scrambled, so I have to reset it manually. Can someone
please tell me what is causing this and how to prevent it, it's a real
pain! Thanks for all help.

Hi,
If your custom order is non-alphabetical and Favorites are sorted by name
(alphabetically) on restart you may have to resort to naming tricks.
Example: To make weather.yahoo.com stay ahead of shopping.yahoo.com, rename
the weather link to 1.weather.yahoo.com or a.weather.yahoo.com or use other
characters, such as underline, or the blank space, from Character Map.

Creating additional folders can also make it easier to find the Favorite
you're looking for.

Hope this helps,

Thank you for your help Don.

You're welcome. I have no idea why IE decides to re-order favorites,
sometimes only occasionally, sometimes regularly. But I don't think you can
prevent this.
