When I first downloaded, it asked if I wanted to import existing bookmarks. They all show when I hover over "bookmarks". When I set up another users' account, it requires them to go down to "from internet explorer" to view them. I want them all to show when the other user hover over "bookmarks" like mine does.

You can move them out of the From Internet Explorer folder to another folder.

  • The Bookmarks Toolbar folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the (View > Toolbars >) Bookmarks Toolbar.
  • The Bookmarks Menu folder stores bookmarks that you see in the Bookmarks menu and create via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or "Bookmark This Link" in the right click context menu.
  • The Unsorted Bookmarks folder stores the bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar.
