Internet Explorer 7 - Favourites Menu (minor issue)

Crabman

Hey Hey

Firstly, this isn't a major issue, it's just something I'm finding a little annoying. It's regarding the favourites folder in IE7 on a new laptop.

Previously when I clicked a folder category, it would open, then if I clicked a second folder somewhere else in the favourites, that second folder would open but the first one would close. I found this quite convenient as it kept the contents on the screen without need for scrolling.

Now, however, I click one folder then the second and both stay open, I've looked at the advanced settings and can't seem to find an option.

Also, as I've imported the favourites, IE7 has kindly decided to organise them in alphabetical order. I want to arrange the folders I want at the top but unlike before, when I click and drag a folder, it just makes a translucent image of the folder drag with my mouse, when I let go instead of shifting the folder to the new location, it opens an explorer window with the contents of the favourites folder.

Not particularly annoying but if anyone knows how to sort this out I'd be very grateful, cheers :beer:

Hi,

I aggree, it's handy one folder closing as another opens, less clutter.

You say you had a look in advanced, did you notice, under browsing, if 'close unused folders in history and favorites' was ticked, and that you have to restart for it to take affect.

The drag option works for me, though sometimes it takes a few goes as it jumps back, it's seems to be a matter of getting the right spot.

If that doesn't work, you could always prefix your top folders with a,aa,b,bb etc, or 1, 2, 3.

Ahhh I have now ticked the box and it's opening one at a time :T

However the favourites still can't be dragged and dropped into a different order I've scoured the advanced settings but can't find anything for that particular function
