How to syncronize only some categories of contatcs

Hi all, does anybody know how can I choose what contacts categories I want to transfer to my device? I have Windows Vista and I can´t find this option that I remember was in some of the old ActiveSync versions.
I think it's a basic feature as may be I am not interested to transfer 100% of my contacts to the phone!!
Maybe a 3rd party add on?
Thans in advance.

Give pocketmirror a try, but it allows you to transfer contact, task and calendar folders over. I have personal, friends and etc. folders. I can sync just the friends folder or all of them. It may not be what you want, but check it out.

Ok, I'll try... thanks!

If you want an easy way, just create a new folder into your Contacts folder in Outlook and put there all those contacts you don't want to synch.
If you're used to work with Contacts, this will be too annoying, but if you only get the mail addresses or phones from the mail window, Outlook will find them or you an use the "search" option.
It's not a good trick, but it helps a few.

I'm sorry but what do you mean organize? Automatic, I think they are aligned alphabetically. Then you can tap&hold&move any bookmark and place it anywhere within the bookmark page.
Hope this helps,

Just tried, you cant drag and rop bookmarks

Also noticed there is no real way of organizing your favorites in stock browser. You can sync with Chrome though and change the order in Chrome as a workaround...

yeah..I just organize them in chrome and sync through

How to SYNC internet bookmark with gmail/google

How to SYNC internet bookmark with gmail/google
Anybody knows how to do this ?
My idea is that I have some internet bookmarks on my device, and I want these automatically synched with my google/gmail account.
So if I flash my Flyer and make a full wipe , I want my internet bookmarks automatically uploaded into my Flyer just like my contacts would.
Any ideas or tips ?

The 2 ways that i have done this so far are either use opera browser for everything and use the sync on that (works ok actually) or use Dolphin browser and the dolphin bookmarks to sd app to sync from gmail account (not automatic).
You would of thought with it been Android and Google they would of made it like the Google Chrome browser so that everything is synced with your account.

In your favourites of IE on your PC, make a new folder named as "HTC bookmarks"
Add in the sites you want to bookmark in this folder.. sync using HTC sync.. it will automatically put all on the phone and add from the phone to the IE..

Recently I've changed my android phone and I stick to my opera mini 7.6(.40234) browser and now I want to move opera mini bookmarks from the old phone to the new one.

Thank you baudbox, I've tried this one and I have the following situation.
Although I'm using Firefox on my desktop PC, I've installed Opera browser for PC just for this sole purpose. To see how it works, for a test, I've logged in the new phone using opera link and my desktop using Opera browser (no bookmarks by default). The result was the only bookmark it was saved on the new phone was deleted. It seems that the phone's bookmarks were sync to the PC's, meaning the only phone bookmark being erased. I didn't see any way of choosing what to sync according to a selected device.
I don't know how opera link works but I supposed the phone bookmarks were supposed to get copied to PC and then connect the other phone and sync it with PC's bookmarks, using the desktop PC as a "middleman". I'm afraid that if I try to sync the old phone using opera link will erase all the bookmarks in it.

I don't see any feature from operalink screenshoot where you can choose a pull or push to opera servers. So guessing you can't
