If you look at surfing the internet as a hobby, then like any hobby Organization is very important. WEB-TV offers you a way to save web-sites you want to explore over and over again in special folders. You can create up to 20 folders, that can hold upto 32 web-sites each for a grand total of 640 web-sites. With that many, you can see the need for organization.

Think of this Favorites section as a File Cabinet. You must create Folders to reflect your intrests or needs. Perhaps you enjoy Music or movies, Cooking or Chat. Having a folder to keep related sites will make them much more accesable. You should take the time to make numerous folders, so that when surfing and a likely site is found , the folder will be there to SAVE it in. Many times you may end up at a cool site with no idea of how to get back there again. This is where having folders made up in advance is a BIG help.
