Cannot promote a bookmark folder (easily).

I have a disjointed group of bookmarks created some time ago and avoid
reorganizing because things don't work well.  For example, drag & drop doesn't
seem to work to promote one folder within another folder up to first rank. 
Likewise when I try to cut the folder (ie Control & X) and then use the mouse to
locate the folder where I would prefer.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a folder within another folder.
2.Attempt to promote it out of the parent folder to the first rank. Control & X
to cut the folder and position mouse to a new location then Control & V to paste.
3.

Actual Results:  Folder does NOT paste.
Error message  "Alert   NC:BookmarkRoot#$153a4023 "


Expected Results:  Folder should relocate by cut and paste (or by drag & drop).

Confirmed with 2001-11-30-03 under W2K. Drag and drop attempts on folders to
parent folders, etc. result in the slash/circle (Ghostbusters) mouse cursor. 
Fixing Summary to help searchers.

These two error message (see above) now occur (new build 2001112009) on any (I
think) folder operation, at least any create folder operation.

Absolutely, I concur - I wrote a dup on this one with drag 'n drop.

Does this still occur?

(actually, I believe bookmarks D&D now is more messed up than it ever has been).. 

but does this specific problem still occur?

Doesn't look like it is happening in Build 2002011103 in Windows 98 SE. 
However, in order to put the bookmark back where it was after promoting it to
the root "folder", you have to hold down <Alt>.

Off the subject, but why can't "File Bookmark" look more like the regular
bookmark display?
