Do it outside the game. Navigate to your Guild Wars folder, then open Templates, Skills, and create folders there. Next time you open the game, you'll see the folders. I haven't tried subfolders under the folders in Skills, so I don't know if GW recognizes them.

It does re-organize them. It is quite helpful for me, instead of clutter, you have a bunch of organized folders.

If you are using Windows 98, then the Templates/Skills folder will be in Programs under Guild Wars. If you have Windows Vista the Templates/Skills folder will be in Documents under Guild Wars.

You create the folder and sub-folders the normal way, which in Vista is right click in list of templates and select New and then Folder. Once you have created all the folders you want, just drag the templates to them.

I have mine organized under PvE and PvP, then by profession and then by usage (Farming, Running, General, etc) or (CM, AB, TA, etc). I also put some into their own subfolder when I need to keep a text file for special info on the build.

I have also standardized how I name builds. This cuts down on the search time, as initial cap and lower case are alphabetized separately, and naming something Darcy's Axe doesn't offer much info on the build. Now I can change a build in 10 seconds instead of 10 minutes - just click on template, change a headpiece, swap a weapon and finished.

Wow I never knew you could do that. I've been naming all my builds "[monk][pve] Name".

Cheers for the info ^^
