I know that I can move my profile's folders (Documents, Images, Music
etc) where I want them to by right click > Properties > Location > Move.
Well, I accidentally moved the Favorites folder from my profile to the
root folder of D: and not to D:\Favorites (a folder I had created for
that reason).
Is there a way to move them back to the place I want (D:\Favorites)?

Hi geotso,

You'll have to fix the "Favorites" shell folder path in the registry. See
"Method 2" in this article.

Ok. Fixed.
The only thing, I had to reboot twice, after registry tweak and after
folder renaming.

guess what: It does work!
I exported Favorites before the fix, gave full control permissions to
the new Favorites folder and imported them back after it.
Thanks again
