How do I organize or group windows 7 explorer favorites?
So Windows Explorer in Win7 lets you add favorite locations, but I can't find any way to group them or put them in subfolders like you could in XP. What's that about? Is there no fix for this?
To be clear, I'm NOT talking about INTERNET explorer. I'm talking about WINDOWS explorer.

If, as I suspect, you like to organise your folders according to your own preferences then I'm afraid it can't be done. I went to microsoft about it and the response was that everything will automatically arrange themselves in alphabetical order. That is the way that 7 has been created with no way of changing it. Just one of many faults in the 7 operating system
Hi,
On the top left side in an Explorer window is a section called Favorites. This is a convenient list of shortcuts to folders or links that you use frequently and are provided for easy access. By default, Desktop, Downloads, and Recent Places are already listed.
You may adding your own shortcuts/groups to the list. One way is to drag a folder and drop it into the list. Another is to open the Links folder and add the shortcuts there.
You may open Links folder by clicking on Start and type- shell:links. Choose shell:links from the list. A folder containing the shortcuts for the navigation pane favorite links will open.
Glad to assist you.
Thanks and Regards
