Hey there,

I used to be able to navigate my IE Favorites menu by clicking Alt A (to
open the menu) and then typing the first letter of the folder or URL I wanted
to navigate to. If it were a folder I was interested in, the menu would
expand automatically, however now when I jump to the folder, the folder does
not expand.

For example:

The Favorites menu contains the folder "News" and nested within this folder
is "CNN". In the past I would type the following :

Alt A
n
c

And CNN would populate my browser. Today I can only get as far a "n" (News).
The News folder doesn't expand automatically.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Brittle Bob

Do you have any other entry beginning with "n"? I find that a folder will
open as you describe if it the the only entry beginning with that letter.
If there's another folder or link beginning with the same letter, the
folder does not open. You can open it by pressing the right arrow key.

Hi Gary,

Yes, I do have other "n" entries. You have explained it perfectly. Thanks a
lot!
