18. Using Favorites and What Are Those F-keys For?
Each WebTV username (we are allowed a total of six usernames) can have a total of 20 folders, and each folder can hold 32 favorites. That's a grand total of 640 favorites per username, and 3,840 Favorites per WebTV account! (Amazing!)
The first time you press the Favs key on a username, you will notice that two folders have already been created. They are named Personal and Recommended. You may keep these folders and use them, or delete them if you wish and create new folder names.
You can add new folders and name them whatever you like. To create a new folder, follow these steps:
Step 1:
You'll choose Add folder from the left sidebar of the main Favorites
page.
Step 2:
Beside "Folder name," type the name you would like the folder to have. (Hint: shorter names work best)
Step 3:
Using the "right arrow" key, move over to Add and press the Return key.
That's it. You have created a new folder!
A complete set of instructions on using Favs can be found by pressing the Favs key on your keyboard, and then choosing "Help" at the upper, right-hand corner of the screen (even information about how to delete a Fav from a folder, or how to delete an entire folder.)
Information about saving your Favorite web sites onto F-keys is next.
1. Go to Favorites by choosing Favorites on the Home Page, or by pressing Favs on your wireless keyboard.
2. Choose the folder which contains a favorite that you want to place on an F-key.
3. Choose Organize on the left sidebar.
4. Choose Shortcuts at the bottom of the right-hand column.
5. Choose the gray button next to the favorite that you want to save on an F-key.
6. You will now see a list of buttons from F1 to F7. Choose the F-key on which you want to place your favorite site.
7. Now go to the bottom of the screen and choose Done. That's it!

If you decide later that you want to undo an F-key setting, here's what to do.
1. Go to Favorites by choosing Favorites on the Home Page, or by pressing favs on your wireless keyboard.
2. Choose the folder which contains the favorite that you want to remove from an F-key.
3. Choose Organize on the left sidebar.
4. Choose Shortcuts at the bottom of the right-hand column.
5. You will get a screen showing those gray buttons, and the F-key settings you have already chosen. Place your yellow "highlight box" over the F-key setting you want removed and hit the Return key.
6. Choose which site you want removed from an F-key by placing the highlight box over the round button next to the site to be removed.
7. Go to the bottom of the screen and choose No Shortcut.
8. Choose Done when you are finished.
