Just to add one or two notes on my own behalf.

When you're happy that you understand the Favorites list, as well as
arrowing through your list of Favorites in the list (using the alt-a
method), you can also press the first letter of the name of the Favorite you want to go to. If a number of items in the list begin with the same letter, e.g., if you have a few beginning with the letter s, hit s a few times until 
your desired item is highlighted then enter to go there.

It's also possible to just slightly change the name of a favorite, using
similar to the renaming method Paul has given.  (I do this, i.e., I put a
single digit between 0 and 9  - or even a letter like x or z - in front of
some of my most often-used Favorites, as a 'shortcut' the quicker to
highlight one in the Favorites list.  For example, if I rename the RTE
favorite 3RTE, I can immediately bring it up with alt-a, 3.) In this case, 
instead of deleting the name, hit the home key - the top-centre key of the
six-pack - to bring the cursor to the beginning of the line. Then type in a 
number or other rarely-used alphanumeric character that will prefix the
original name. then tab to OK, etc. Alt-A, 3 [or some other digigt of your 
choosing] will now bring up RTE - or whichevver site you set it to.)

Just something for you all to try out when you get time.
Its useful to save certain web pages that you visit from time to time into
your favourites. Here is how you can go about doing it.
(The organized way)
1. When on a web page that you wish to save into the favourites folder, go
to the "favourites menu" using keys "alt + A".

2. Now press the enter key on "add to favourites".
3. In the file name field a suggested name will appear for you to save with 
or you can simply just type over the suggested name with your own choice.
4. If you wish to file this particular page away in a sub folder within the 
Favourites folder, that is a sub folder being a folder within the main
favourites folder and one that reflects the types of web sites you wish to 
put in there then you can do this by "tabbing" to the "new folder" button
and then pressing the spacebar.
5. Assuming you are going to do this an "edit box" will pop up asking you to 
type in a new name for the folder you wish to create so just call it
something meaningful and then tab and press on the "ok button".

6. Now you will be placed back in the previous screen or window and on the
add new folder button. At this point press the "reverse tab, shift key +
tab" and you will be in a list of folders available to you which contains
both the main favourites folder and any "new sub folders" you have just
created. At this point just arrow down to select any of the folders in this 
list which indicates to Internet Explorer that this is where you wish to
save the web page.

7. Finally, tab to the ok button and press the spacebar or enter key.

Now whenever you wish to bring up this saved web site again, go into your
favourites menu, "alt + A" and arrow down to the sub folder, the one you
created with the name you gave it. Then right arrow into it and you will
find your saved web page in there.
Just press enter on it to have it open up on screen once more.

This is a good tidy way to keep your  web pages.

Now for the random disorganized way.

1. While on the web page, press keys "control + letter D"
2. In the dialogue of options that appear, just tab key to the "add button" 
and press the spacebar. This will automatically add in that particular web
page to your favourites menu without putting it directly into any of the sub 
folders.
You can now access this page by going into the favourites menu and arrowing 
down till you come to it in the main favourites menu listing.

Paul.
