Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 2 / May 2008Collapse the "Add to Favorites / Create In" folder tree in IE7?
With IE7 when navigating the "Add to Favorites / Create In" folder tree the folders are, by default, expanded. Is there a way to change the default to collapsed or designate a level? As always, thank you in advance for any help Graham I don't believe MS saw fit to allow this to be done. I was a tester of the IE7 beta program and recommended that the "Add to Favorites" be collapsible, but it was NOT one of the recommendations that was implemented. > With IE7 when navigating the "Add to Favorites / Create In" folder > tree the folders are, by default, expanded.

It is annoying to have to look at all the folders I have in my favorites everytime I add another. The jerks who made that decision must have very small favorites lists. On my machine, in IE7, it is impossible to add anything more to my favorites list. I'm switching back to IE6. If this bug in IE7 is ever fixed, will someone please inform me?

It has ruined n any functionality gain in IE 7. Microsoft once again has demonstrated that it cannot release a program...no matter what the genre... that is without MAJOR Flaws. How MS is an irresponsible Monopolistic Pain in back side. Are there people out there that still believe in this company. > The jerks who made that decision must have very small favorites lists.

I can't imagine my being unselective enough to need enough folders to overfill the list :-) James Silverton Potomac, Maryland E-mail, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.comcast.not graham;2639607 Wrote: > With IE7 when navigating the "Add to Favorites / Create In" folder > tree the folders are, by default, expanded.

Microsoft really blew this one. Here's a WORKAROUND. It's a bit cumbersome, but easier than dealin with a large favorites list. 1. Instead of clicking the word Favorites in the menu bar, open th Favorites Center by clicking the gold star under the FILE menu butto (or under the back arrow, if you don't have that menu bar visible) 2. It opens your Favorites unexpanded. Lock the Favorites Center b hitting Ctrl Shift i. 3. Open the Favorites folder/subfolder you need. 4. Click the icon to the left of the URL in the address box, and dra it to the folder of your choice. If necessary, you can go back i later and rename it.

Favorites Center comes out already locked. 4. Drag address icon to folder.
