I don't know of any way to get them to close. This is one my irritants to

using IE8. I'm like you

when I want to save a new link in a folder, the whole list of folders and

subfolders open up

and I have to scroll up and down to get to where I want to put it. I keep

hoping in IE9 they

will correct this.

When I open Favorites drop-down menu and click on one of the folders to get

to the desired website, that expanded folder stays expanded, with all

submenus open. So when I try to open another folder in Favorites I need to

scroll all over the Favorites menu to find it (because the first folder, if

it has a lot of bookmarks in it, will fill up the whole drop-down menu), and

then even that second folder will stay expanded, and so on.

One way of avoiding this mess is to click on the expanded folder again in

order for it to retract. But it is not convenient. In IE7 there was a way to

make the retraction of the opened folders AUTOMATIC once the second folder

was clicked upon. However, I cannot find that command in the Internet

Options

on IE8. Please advise. Thank you.

OP is not discussing saving Favorites. That's another issue.
