IE 7.0-Favorites folder bugs

I just recently purchased Windows Vista SP1 w/IE7.0.6001.18000 and have
already found an old IE bug as well as a new one. The old bug I have noticed
about IE is the sorting issue with folders and URL files in the favorites
folder. IE does/has not ever sorted the favorites folder in alphabetical
order and this must be done manually. Whenever a new folder or URL is added
to favorites, it automatically is put at the bottom of the list. If a
specific folder/URL order is desired, it must always be done manually.
Personally, I would like to see Microsoft add an "alphabetical sort" option
in the "Organize Favorties" menu.
The new bug I have found with IE7.0 is with addition of URL's in favorite's
sub-folders when the sub-folder has a read-only attribute. I went to a new
website, clicked on "Favorites -> Add to Favorites", selected a sub-folder to
add the URL to, and IE gave me and "Unspecified Error." I had copied my old
favoties folder to a CD for later merging into my recently purchased Windows
Vista package and all of the sub-folders and URL's had been given a read-only
attribute.
God bless,

Open Organize Favorites, right-click on a folder, choose Sort by Name.

That's ALWAYS been the case when files have been copied onto a CD and then
copied onto another drive..CD ROM = R(ead) O(nly) M(emory)
