In IE8, when I want to add a site to My Favorites, when I go to select the 
folder to save it in, the list of all of my previously saves favorite 
folders completely opens up in expanded view.  Since there are folders and 
multiple subfolders, is there a way to make only the half dozen or so main 
folders show up, then I could drill down and open each subfolder one at a 
time, instead of immediately seeing every single favorites folder I have 
ever created in a VERY long scrolling list?

Short answer is no.

There is a "workaround" though - use the favorites button (the star) and add 
to your list using the left hand pane view instead of the favorites menu.

Not in IE8, no.

Yes.   Drag them there instead of using that deficient dialog.   And if 
you're doing more than one and know that they are going into the same 
subfolder, consider using the Add to Favorites Bar button instead.   Then 
you can eventually just drag (or Cut them) as a group out of that temporary 
location to the destination folder.   Another alternative for the group case 
would be opening an Explorer window at that subfolder and then just dragging 
each Address bar icon to it directly.
