re: "... list of favorite sites [grew] out of control." . Ken, . I'am sure many of us have experienced this problem, as I know I have, and "lived with it" to the point that my collection of favorites is a total mess and useless. . I use browser Opera rather than Netscape. . My favorites are stored in a seperate location that I open using a Ctrl-F2 key stroke, but the management tools that are available suck really bad in this very old version and I hope once I leave Windows 3.1 that the latest Opera is constructed much more user friendly. . Maybe some folks here using Google can locate some freeware or shareware programs that work with Netscape and IE that allow you to click into a list of saved URLs that can be clicked into just like you do now, but include a better method to describe what each URL is for, and just maybe be able to group them into categories so that you can view a subset rather than them all. . Actually I must correct what I said above, as my Opera does allow me to do that, but the help file to explain it and serve as instructions are what sucks, so I never took the time to figure it out. My bad. . ok, its time for gotmilkHelp ... sorry thecow :o) . On iHub (InvestorsHub.com) Sheriff Matt has allowed me and Derfie to create a "private" (aka single user) board to store posts, not pictures or music or big stuff. . I have used this to gather my favorite URLs into a post so that I can edit them and try and figure out what I have. . Eventually I'll delete duplicates and ones not wanted, then group the remaining into similiar topics. . Once I locate a freeware or shareware program that will manage them, and work inside my brower, and allow me to move them in using a Copy & Paste from a post where I put the final copy, then all will be well. . As an example, this is where I collected my favorites into a single iHub post. Please note that each time I added new URLs I appended them to this post as a Reply, and this allowed me to view them all at once. I needed not be careful about duplicates or actually knowing for sure if the URL was a good saved favorite since this method was just a collection activity. . investorshub.com (with) Replies (21) . Whats nice here is that I can include a short description of what each URL does, most times a simple Copy & Paste of the top sentence of the web page if gone there. . Also nice is that I can actually use the posts as a storage of URLs as if there are favorites since I can click on them Doug
