Where are my files when I try to bookmark a page?

Why is it when I want to bookmark a web page the drop down doesn't show all my folders so I can save it to the appropriate folder..you'd think that when I hit bookmark all my folders would appear so I could choose the one I want to put the page into...instead I get a choice of 4! So I have to save it to one of the choices, exit and then click and drag it to the folder I wanted..this sucks! I should get shown all my folders and not a set of random 4.

-> when you are on a page which you want to Bookmark, press CTRL + D -> in Folders click Choose... -> select the folder you want and click Done

Check and tell if its working.

Well I got it figured out...and your reply did help...after hitting choose you hit the bookmarks menu and then all the folders appear....personally I liked the set up IE has...you just hit bookmark and all your folders show up and you don't have to search through additional drop down files (what, added steps to show they have a more sophisticated program???) I'll take simplicity everytime....thanks...I'll survive now...have a great day.
