Links and favorites

S

shakey

I am bringing system up to what I want following a full reinstall of XP-sp3.
Current problem is patching back my favorites from saved file and links from
saved file. I seems that they interact and cannot get what had berfore
which was a favorites folder with many locations and seperate links on my
toolbar which I could pull down. I finally got links on toolbar but they
open windows explorer to that folder rather than show only folder contents.
I remember that links was a folder in my favorites.

from.

Not sure I'm following you, but: Do a search on C for Favorites and you
should find it easy enough. As long as you haven't changed their
default locations:

your Favorites are here:
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Favorites\

Links is located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Favorites\Links\, etc.


Note: Each user has their own Favorites folder, including
Administrator, All Users, Default User, and each username.

Twayne Thanks for folder info. I will be a day or two before I have time
to pursue this again but with that I bet I will be OK.
