Seeking MRU feature when adding favorites in IE6

Often when I am browing the Web for a particular topic I come across a
series of web sites that I would like to add to the same location in my
Favorites subfolder tree. As it is , each time the menu starts me off at the
very top of my subfolder tree, so that I repeatedly have to navigate down to
the same target forder to put the favorite link into. Is there some way of
configuring IE (or the registry) to avoid this inconvenience? Many other
programs in Windows XP (SP2) fill in such entry blanks with the Most Recently
Used entry as the default.

Thanks!

Instead of using Organize Favorites you could open the subfolder
in its own Folder window and then drag the links to it.
Tip: you could create a Desktop shortcut to open the subfolder
and assign a keyboard shortcut to it too. Also, if I had a lot of
them that I wanted to add I would press F11 on the Folder window
and keep the IE window in normal mode and not maximally sized.
That would allow the Folder window to be a target from my dragging,
underneath the source window.


Also, I'm on IE7 at the moment so I can't check if this works in IE6
but in IE7 I can also drag links to the Favorites bar. It's a bit tricky.
You have to drag the link to the subfolder and watch for an insertion point
to appear between two existing Favorites links. Then you will see
the cursor pointer is a drag and drop copy pointer and then be able
to complete the drop part of the operation.
