Sort IE Favorites, Part II

Last June I told you how to sort your Internet Explorer Favorites menu by right-clicking an item and selecting Sort by Name. The problem with this technique is that you must repeat it for each submenu. I have since discovered a way to sort the Favorites menu and its submenus at one go. Select Start, Run, type regedit, and press Enter. Navigate the left pane to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Explorer\ MenuOrder\Favorites. Once there, delete the Order value in the right pane. Exit and reenter Internet Explorer. Now your Favorites menu and submenus will be alphabetized by name.
