| Now you got me wondering. I just installed MS antispyware also and have
| Norton AV. I've had the folders in windows\favorites for a long time. What
| would happen if I moved them back to documents and settings? I might get
the
| same problem you are having so I'm not enthusiastic in trying it.
|
| Try the repair button in TweakUI. If that doesn't help, the only other
thing
| I could think of would be to move the favorites as I did. There's probably
a
| lot of programs to do this but the one I have is Xteq at
www.xteq.com . If
| you download this it is in the Internet Explorer Files and folders
section.
