    Alphabetical sort is now controlled via a setting. This is set in the Favorites settings. To change this, click on Settings button on the toolbar, then in the Settings page select Favorites along the left side, then it should open up to the General tab. In the Sort By dropdown you can select A-Z

  4. Restoring Favorites

    I saved my Favorites to my computer in case something happened I could restore them, well I deleted a folder by accident and when I went to the saved ones to restore the folder it won't open up, it keeps wanting me to save it again and again and it wont open the favorites I saved. How do I get the saved one to open up??

    Please follow these steps:

    1. Open the Favorite Places window.
    2. Click Manage.
    3. Select one of the following:
    -Replace: Use this to replace your current Favorites with your backup copy or Favorites from your other Username.
    -Append: Use this option to add to your existing list with your backup copy or Favorites from your other Username.
    4. Navigate to the Favorites file that you saved, click the file to highlight it, and then click Open.
    5. Close the Favorite Places window.

  5. Dump the Favorites "upgrade"

    Prior to AOL Gold the Favorites button was easy to use. Since the "upgrade" trying to locate a favorite results in frustration. It is extremely hard to locate what one is looking for as once a sub-folder is opened it stays open until manually closed - and, opening a sub-folder takes you back to the top of the list and you have to search once again for where it is in the list. Dump this "upgrade" and go reinstall the code for the old Favorites.
