What I do is just create my own banks, like Favorites1, 2, etc. and but those on the bottom window pane of VC, then drag from the source bank (top pane, which is either factory or some third party library) to the bottom pane.
Most of the time I end up going to my faves first and working from there. I've tried to set them up so that all the "fundmentals" are easy to get to (i.e. patches that I might want to use as a starting point and tweak from there).
It's not really obvious at first that you can do this but actually in terms of patch management it's one of the more efficient mechanisms I've seen. Only thing is the drag and drop can be buggy, at least the Windows implementation. I've seen it do everything from overwrite patches in the destination with duplicate names and the completely wrong sound, to just deleting them wholesale. Just take it one step at a time and confirm the sound you think should be in whatever slot is in fact there and sounds like it should.
