When working inside List Management - Favorite Folders would like to have the ability to temporarily sideline some of them. That could be by either a // or for a number of them /*...*/.
The reason being that would be a way to temporarily put some on hold instead of deleting them and having to reenter them again later .

Re: Favorite folders - a lot of them
In List Management - Favorite Folders you can press F6 to enter Edit mode, then store the bunch you got in some text file, and then remove what you don't need. That's the best I can offer for now.

While XY is not running you may change the [Favorites] section in XYplorer.ini
Use an editor or script which supports the file encoding.
The Count= entry must be set of course to the actual number of entries.

to admin - awkward but it does the job. Thank you
to Horst - Thank you too. At this juncture of life's sojourn, experience as taught never to touch an .ini unless the fate of Western Man hangs in the balance.

Re: Favorite folders - a lot of them
If you want to put in the effort, you could write a script to load favorites from a file or similar, so you could keep them external, and filter any lines that are commented out in said file before import, lookup favs() in the help file.
