    MS did a good job with this. You can drag/drop your favorite
    urls into any order you like. Most IE overlay browsers cannot do
    this - you just get an alphabetic list of your favorites Folders and urls.
    Does anyone have info how MS do this ?
    Registry keys/methods ?
    I use MYIE2, but the latest version 8.350 seems to have lost
    this ability. Version 8.220 was able to do it.

    Hi Lonny, I reckon the have made some mistakes with 8350 and do not recommend it. Other folks have complained on the forum there. I have gone back to 8220 and it works fine.
    I did not sort my favorites but placed them in the order I wanted with drag and drop in Organise Favorites.
    I have found the reg keys but it is not easy to fathom out how they work.
    Anyway, let's see what MYIE can bring out with a newer version - I certainly enjoy this useful (and Free !) browser.
    regards

    Hi merlin
    Yes i enjoy it also, old habits are hard to break though and I usually end up surfing with IE ,seams a-little faster, I could be imagining things >>>>>>>>>>(again),

    so you were unable to drag and drop from the side bar ?
    Do you use SpyBots immunize, have you seen it block anything while surfing with MYIE2 ?

    Regards
    Lonny

    Lonny, thanks for the reply. I have Spybot but not experienced blocking when using MYIE2. I only use Spybot offline tho'
    If I manipulate the Favorites sidebar in MYIE2 it has no effect on the sequence of the links in the Favorires tab at top of screen and that is where I usually go to vist sites. I do not want to lose
    so much of the screen with the Favorites bar at left all the time.
    Still with 8130 at present. For me IE is not quicker than this.
    regards
