How to make the "Links" folder not show up in IE's favorites

  • Artículo

I keep my favorites hierarchy fairly flat, and I find the Links favorites folder pretty useless, so I hide it on every machine I use regularly.

    Really? The first thing I do on any PC I will be using the internet on regularly is set up all my most used shortcuts in the Links folders. I find it to be a time saver and makes using IE easier and faster. Being able to switch between CNN, MSDN, and slashdot makes for some interesting reading.

    Yep :-) The way I access my most-used shortcuts is that I know the keyboard combination to get to them (as I've mentioned elsewhere in this blog, i'm a heavy keyboard user) By "fairly flat" I meant that I have one set of subfolders under favorites, but try to avoid any sub-subfolders.

    For example, there's an article about troubleshooting outlook web access I refer people to all the time. To get to it in my favorites, I go Alt | F, K, T. This gets to my Favorites, the "KBs & Docs" folder, and "Troubleshooting OWA". But there are other online KBs/docs that are less commonly used, but still worth having in my favorites, and they are conveniently organized in the same folder as the tshooting OWA.

    To each her own :-)

    After I got far too many flat links in Links, I re-organized them.

    I know have ca eight folders visible in the Links bar, most of which have sub-folders.

    I get the main benefit of Links as I used it before - i.e. I can drag and drop an open Link directly to the Links section, but now I drag it to the appropriate folder.

    This link is now naturally not within a sub-folder of that folder, but is still a member of a short list in that section. When the list(s) get too long it's easy to push them into a sub-folder of the same parent link.

    I find it quicker and easier to access a folder/sub-folder/item from the Links bar than to open the Favorites column. Plus it's quicker to add new Links in sensible places (and then find them)

    I use the links folder for going back and forth while working on particular project. If I am updated a page on my site or researching a new product for work, I will put the link there where it is easily accessible. I use it for quick, temporary storage of links, not for a permanent holding spot for my favourites.
