Coming from the "Favorite Favorite Fact" department, Lockergnomaster Steven Groginsky repurposes a well-known Windows feature. When you run into a killer Web site, the first thing you do is put it in your Favorites (or Bookmarks). Understanding that you'll probably never visit it more than twice in the next decade, a lot of good that did ya. I'm sure you'll explore your system more often, right? Okay, Netscapers, even though you dislike IE, you may appreciate this tip. Make a folder inside FAVORITES and place shortcuts to frequently accessed folders in there. Since you're already in an Explorer session, once selected, each location will spring to life in the current window. You can always hit the back button if you make a boo-boo, but since the Favorites folder is already there, you may as well use it for non-Internet stuff.
