I started out using the Microsoft “favorites” system, but I finally accumulated too many of them, and the system doesn’t alphabetize them properly.

So I finally started an Astronomy folder under the “My Documents” category, then I opened Word documents and pasted hot links inside them. Like for NASA you can have a word document that contains all your NASA links. You just go to that document and click on the hot link to any of the NASA websites. You can categorize all the links inside each word document.
Yup, I have a word doc for NASA and For SciFi I'm looking to catergorize the links so when someone is looking for a particular thing it can be found by drilling down by common nomenclature.
Example
WWW>SCIFI>MOVIES>SERIES>STARTREK>CHARACTERS>KIRK>S HATNER
Where you would look for all links related to William Shatner at the last folder, Links related to the Character Kirk in its parent folder, Characters related to StarTrek movies above that, Anything Startrek aBove that, Any movie series above that, Anything SciFi above that and anything WWW in the top folder. Each folder containing folders that split down accordingly
WWW>SCIFI>TV>SERIES>STARGATE>ATLANTIS>NEWS

Now I am trying to develop one for space that will read

WWW>SPACE>LEARNING>????>????>?????>STAR SIZES
WWW>SPACE>THEORETICAL>?????>?????>?????>DYSON>SPHE RE

well, I hope you under stand.

If you want my NASA.doc or SciFi.doc link files you can download them at my group SciFiExplorers or SciFiResearchers. I have an unlock to check out the groups Username Skwirlfree PW 123456 that will be active until may 1, then that user will be banned. Its so you dont have to start a yahoo account and join just to see what I'm up to.

Only 5? Ok:

- General
- Technology
- Solar system
- Stars & other stuff in Milky Way
- Extragalactic stuff
I am trying to stay away from the general Categories as they tend to get really big really fast
MilkyWay would be a parent folder of Sol System
ExtraGalactic would be in the Universe folder broken into its components
like Superclusters, gravitational lensing, ????,?????,?????.etc...

Stars in the milky way would need to be in subfolders dealing with star charts, star characteristics and ????.

What I am looking for is the top Main folders That will have SPACE as their parent. WWW>SPACE>????????>????????>??????>...
If there is ten so be it if there is five so be it. I'm thinking one could be WWW>SPACE>COSMOLOGY>
and WWW>SPACE>EXPLORATION>
or WWW>SPACE>EDUCATION>
or WWW>SPACE>SPECULATION>
WWW>SPACE>CURRENT EVENTS>

??? I don't want to have to keep going back and changing parent folders like I do for SciFi.
I figured if Anyone could help me with this it would be someone here. You guys are very knowlegeable about the structure of the aspect of space.

Note: Worlds largest use of ??? in a single post.
