Better ways to organize your Favorites/bookmarks

I can use Live.com to tag my IE Favorites online, but I'd like to know if I can use folders to arrange them on my PC and then upload the folders to my IE.

You can always manipulate your Favorites bookmarks in Windows Explorer. Go to Documents and Settings, then to your user name and open the folder called Favorites. Each of your links is a separate shortcut file, and most of them should be stored in folders. You can drag and drop the files however you like. To create a new bookmark, right click in a folder, select New and then Shortcut.

Nowadays, many people use online bookmark managers such as Live (favorites.live.com) for IE and Foxmarks (foxmarks.com) for Firefox because these are accessible from more than one computer. Delicious (del.icio.us) is popular as a social bookmarking site. I've used Linkagogo for many years, but rarely access it unless I'm overseas. I'm currently trying Sync2it because it works with multiple browsers. There's a good selection of alternatives at Fileheap, or search at Download.com.
