[gui-talk] straightening out my favorites

Tue Feb 5 01:23:51 CST 2008

yes, that is what I'm saying. Didn't I say it clearly enough? If I didn't,, 
sorry. anyway, where is this Move Folder menu item. I never have seen 
something like that. Thanks. Is it in a menu in Windows Explorer? Or is it 
in some completely different place?

Anway, I don't know what sounded odd

Jole, I reckon your method is quicker.  Why not just access the explorer
environment, open the appropriate directory and cut and paste the folder
where she wants?  I guess maybe that's the gist of your suggestion.  Much
faster than arrowing through the menu structure to find the move folder
option under the edit menu I'd say.  But then again, there's more than one
way to do things in these here windows aint there?

Hi Jaybee,

I'm sorry, but you'd better leave me out of this. First of all, if I want to
simply move a folder, I select it in the folder tree view of Windows
Explorer, press control x to cut to clipboard, navigate to the folder
underneath which I want it to go, and press control v to paste it there.
That's all.

And in the Windows explorer View menu, I don't have any such item as Move
Folder. So I just don't understand your directions. So I'll leave it to
someone else to comment, if anyone wishes to. I'll be interested to find out
what it is you're describing, though. Might be a helpful alternative to my
usual way of doing file management.

And just in case it's helpful, the folder of these bookmarks is called the
Favorites folder, plural.

Well, I'm curious to see what this method of folder management is about. Oh.
I know exactly what you mean about discovering that there are two or three
Favorites folders on your hard drive. Same for My Documents.  and a couple
of other things. In Windows Explorer, there's this group of folders that
appears above the local drive c: and the 3 1/2 floppy drive A. When I
migrated from Windows 98 to Windows XP, I wasn't familiar with that stuff.
In Windows 98, Windows Explorer opened right on drive C, and you could arrow
up to the A drive if you wanted to, but there wasn't this whole little
section of extra folders up above that plus a folder for your desktop.. This
group of folder above it in XP, let's see what they are again-- Desktop, my
documents, my pictures, and a couple of other things, I don't even know what
they're doing there, and I don't use them for anything. I stash files and
create folders only on local drive c:, off what we used to call the root
directory. Maybe somebody will explain to me what those folders are about,
or what bibarc means, for the love of Mike. I mean it's always the default
where some file wants to download to, and I have to adjust things to direct
the download to where it belongs, meanwhile thinking "bib arc?" This is
something about a cloth you tie around your neck while you're eating
lobster, with a rainbow on it or something?

Such are the unsolved mysteries of Windows.

Joel, if I'm hearing right, and grant it, I may not be, Sherri is attempting
to move the entire folder Favorites, and if this is the case, she needs to
go to the Favorites folder where ever it is, (I must tell you though, I have
several Favorite foldars, and they're in different places.  One of my
favorite folders have nothing in it.  So be sure you have the favorite
folder you desire).  go to the Edit menu, arrow down to Move to folderk and
hit enter Then, by tabbing through the options she will find a list of
folders.  Find the one you want, and without entering that folder, tab to
Move and hit enter, and the entire Favorite folder will move from where ever
it is to the selected folder.  Hope this helps some. Best.  Jaybee
