Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Computer with Windows Vista on it
- Mouse
- Keyboard
- Patience
- Time
Step1
Open up Internet Explorer by double-clicking (two fast clicks) on it (look for the "blue e")
Step2
click the yellow star with a plus on the front of it on the top menu which is your "add to favorites" button. Then, when you're inside of there, click on "organize favorites"
Step3
Inside Organize Favorites you will see all of your favorites. Here you can create new folders to better organize by clicking "new folder" and simply typing a name in there that will categorize it. For example "sports websites" or "computer help" would be good categories for sites like cnn.com and/or msn.com.
Step4
You can also move favorites in and out of folders. Click on the favorite (link) or folder and using your mouse -- drag it into its new position. (This will take practice, so be patient). If you know how to "click and drag" with your mouse, this process will be easier.
Step5
Often website names are too lengthy or meaningless. Feel free to rename your favorites to something that will actually make sense. Do this by clicking/selecting a favorite or folder and then click "rename". When you see it highlighted, type the new name (even if text is already there) and hit your "enter" key on the right hand side of the keyboard. If you make a mistake, repeat the process.
Step6
As a computer trainer, the question people ask most is "How do I delete a favorite when I no longer want it?"
It is simple! Click the folder or favorite you no longer want, then click delete (or hit delete key on your keyboard) and it will confirm, so click YES, and then it's gone.
Step7
When you are done organizing and have had enough for the day, simply click "close"
