To organize your favorite pages into folders

As your list of favorites grows, you can keep it organized by creating folders. You might want to organize your pages by topic. For example, you could create a folder named Art for storing information about art exhibits and reviews.

1. On the Favorites menu, click Organize Favorites.
2. Click Create Folder, type a name for the folder, and then press ENTER.
3. Drag the shortcuts (or folders) in the list to the appropriate folders.

If the number of shortcuts or folders makes dragging impractical, you can use the Move to Folder button instead.

TO save the bookmarks folder onto a floppy disk s an separate web page. Follow these instructions.

Sharing bookmarks and favorites

Favorites, known as bookmarks in Netscape Navigator, are a convenient way to organize and link to Web pages that you visit frequently.

Internet Explorer automatically imports all your Netscape bookmarks. On the Favorites menu, click the Imported Bookmarks folder to view them.

If you use Internet Explorer on several computers, you can easily share favorites between computers by importing them. Also, if you use both Internet Explorer and Navigator, you can keep your favorites and bookmarks up-to-date with each other by importing them between programs.

• To import bookmarks or favorites, click the File menu, and then click Import and Export.
• To export favorites to bookmarks or favorites on the same or another computer, click the File menu, and then click Import and Export.

Notes

• Exported favorites are saved as a regular HTML file, so either Internet Explorer or Navigator can import them. You can export a selected folder in your Favorites list, or all of your favorites.
• The exported favorites file is fairly small, so you can copy it to a floppy disk or network folder, or attach it to an e-mail message if you want to share the favorite items with other people.
