Safari for Windows: Organizing Folders?!

First, I'm embarrassed to admit that, as a non-technical ex-Internet Explorer user who just switched to Safari, I'm not sure if "Safari OS X" is the same thing as (or at least generally applies to) "Safari for Windows". (If not, is there a forum for that?)

Assuming someone in this forum might be willing and able to answer a question about Safari for Windows, I'm having trouble organizing the folders Safari imported from IE. Every time I grab, drag and drop one, it ends up in one of the two folders I'm trying to place it between.

For example, if my imported IE folders are in this order - A, B, D, and C - when I try dropping C in between B & D, it (C) ends up inside B ... like C were a sub-folder of B! Maddening.

I've also tried creating Safari folders (in the left panel), but I can't grab the folder within the hierarchy of imported IE folders open in the right panel in order to drag and drop it over on the left panel somewhere. Maddening.

I'm tempted to switch to Mozzilla, but I've been reading that Opera is a better browser.

Any suggestions?

Opera is good. Firefox 3.01 is by far the best and most secure. It will scan everything you download for viruses (though dont just rely on that) and has loads of add ons. I use safari now and again, but you wont go back to it after using ff3. Install the bookmarks bar add on or tabs mix plus after you install it. The video downloader is also very good.

Maybe one way to trick Safari is to first organize your IE favorites in the IE favorites folder and then import it to Safari.

Er, dunno. Its one from the mozilla site. The icon rotates in the bar..(red green and yellow balls) whenever something downloadable is found :~)
