Getting a folder out of another in favorites?

18 years ago

Somehow?, my number one folder #0000 on the list, found it's way INTO the number 2 folder on the list of favorites, which is listed as #1.

How do I get it OUT of the #1 folder, and back to it's own place as #000 which is the top of the list.

I had it there for ages, and because I got a little frisky with the curser, it jumped away, and I can't seem to get it back to number one, even tho it is listed as #000.

That was the only way I could get it to the top of the list previously.

Does anyone understand what I am trying to say?

Not too good at descriptions sometimes. Sorry, but do appreciate any assistance someone can provide.

OK you have a folder (#0000) inside another folder (#1) and you wish to remove it to the same folder as #1 is stored in. You do not tell us which folder #1 is in so I will assume it is in My Documents. If this is different then each time I refer to My Documents you substitute that with the name of the folder these are in. Make sense?

OK so as the earwig said as he fell off the table 'erewego

Right click Start
Click Explore in the pop up and a new window appears.
Click the plus sign + beside My Documents at the top on the left side
Now under this should be the list of your numbered folders.
Click on #1 to highlight it
Now look in the right side of the screen and you will see #0000 listed
Place your cursor over the #0000 and hold down the left mouse button
Keep the button pressed and drag the #0000 onto My Documents in the left side
Release mouse.
Done.

Do not worry about it being above #1, the fact that it is numbered #000 will automatically assure it's position at the top of your listing.

Or if you are referring to Internet Explorer favorites, click Favorites, then Organize Favorites...highlight the folder, click the Move button and click the folder at the top (called Favorites), hit ok until all the boxes close. It should be back at the top, but if not, click Favorites, then right-click on any entry in your list and left click on Sort By Name (at the near bottom of the list)That should bring any entries with special characters (like #) to the top.

Thank you all again...it is a precious "tree" for me ...and it brings back lots of good memories...like the heart-shaped gold & pewter pc was given to me by my grandma many yrs ago...it opens up & has our pics inside & my g'pa's too. And that silly Texas shaped pin left of the tree trunk is a junky pc from Texas...my folks wintered there after retirement...that silly colorful peacock feather you see right of the trunk is a from a pair of earrings when I got to go down & visit them in Texas once! (in the middle of an Iowa winter! It was heaven!) And the trinket angel pin...my Mom wore them on lots of things...scarfs, lapels, etc. I could rattle on a long time with you all! But I am pleased that it has inspired some of you with ideas for your keepsakes. Thanks for looking. Jeanne S.

Don't know what happened to my post. Mom2sulu - I'd say the white subway was a tad whiter than cabinet. I'm currently looking at subway ceramics' Avalon tile. If I looked at heritage tile before, none of the samples worked. I've looked/bought samples for so many tiles, I no longer can remember. I think this Avalon one might be the one. I've been turned off by the yellow or pinkish undertones; this Avalon one is 'just there' w/ no noticeable undertones when under cabinet lighting. Hope the tile is fairly priced. The designer that was here the other day said it doesn't look inexpensive. Ugh. If it gets the backsplash off the checklist I may have to bite the bullet, but I'm beyond spending lots more $$ on kitchen. i don't know how herringbone subway behind stove and the rest of backsplash being the brick layout, would look. Another dilemma. p.s. The Avalon tile is smooth matte

Do you make doubles of your favorite rose rooting, or buy another?

Desert, I take cuttings in late winter, early spring. When I am pruning my roses for the spring, I will take a piece of the cane that I cut and have it be about 6 inches long or so. Make sure they do have at least two or three or more eyes on the canes. I shove the cane into the ground about two inches or I sometimes use potting soil. That is it. I sit back and watch them grow. Make sure they stay moist. Now, not everything will grow as Seil states, but I have had very good luck with Candice, Lavender Crystal and with Brother Cadfael. I figure since all of my roses are own root, that I have a fighting chance since they grew from/on their own roots already. I know that my Wedding Cake is extremely difficult to grow on its own root.
