'Add to Favorites...' command

I have a long line of subfolders in my 'Favorites' folder. So when I right
click a web page and select the 'Add to Favorites...' command, the dialogue
box shows the 'Create in:' folder with all the sub-folders opened up and
fully extended ... to almost a mile long!
How can I preset the dialogue box 'Create in:', so that the folders close
off at just the first few sub-folder levels.

(I migrated this issue from XP Professional to Vista Ultimate)

AFAIAA there is no fix for this other than to open the Favorites sidebar
and drag the URL to that...

Big mistake.

It's an Internet Explorer "feature" - couldn't you tell that? (MS
knows best, stop questioning them!!!).

I like to do View ->Explorer Bar and then drag the link from the
address bar to the folder I want it in.
