To delete "favorites" highlight the one you want to delete, right click on the mouse and it will give you a list of options. Click on delete and it is gone. Also there is only so much room in favorites, so the oldest one will drop off when you add a new one that is over the limit. I have noticed also that when you go to a favorite, sometimes, it is no longer available on the internet.

How else do you use your One Notes? I am interested.
I use it primarily to keep track of projects I want to do. I have tabs for sewing, needlework, crochet, quilting tutorials, ideas for projects with my GD. It's a creative storage place for me. I think it might also be very well used as a personal recipe book. What are some of the things you do with Growly?

I'm a book mark hoarder also. Half of them I don't even know why I saved in the first place!

Well I am a "horder" also. Before I read this I was just cleaning out my favorites. One whole folder named hobby was just deleted because I knew I would never look at some of those websites. I have 5 years of saved stuff. Why?????????? Is it a sickness?? I will never make all of those patterns, etc. I also have 3 small totes with saved patterns and ideas. I think I need a Twelve Step Program". LOL It seems fun and necessary at the time.

Just love the idea of a 12 step program for hoarders. I think I need to join. But first I need to save all the stuff I need to save. LOL Also I save some things as mail saved in AOL jut set up your files and hoard away. That way they don't get trash if your computer crashes or gets a virus.

I also have too many old emails. Do you all clean your email out? Or just let it get fuller?

I had forgotten all about my old email stash. I go through the email when received, then file the "good" stuff away in mail folders. My eBay and Amazon folders have bid confirmations from 2009. Thanks for the housekeeping reminder CindyA.

I got real mail from my boyfriend after he was drafted and was in boot camp. I saved every letter until the man I married years later found them with my prom pictures and chucked the letters. I remember the smell of the stationery and ink and his really lousy penmanship. I wonder if men still write love letters, or just email them.
