Added Favorites Not Found

[Ben]

On my wifes new vista system, we have a problem with adding favorites.

When browsing, and on a siste that we wish to save as a favorite, add is
clicked, and it appears the favorite is saved, but it cannot be located in
favorites.

If the same link is visited again, and add selected, it says favorite already
exists.

Favorites had been imported from old bookmark file.

Running Vista Home Premium on Dell Inspiron 531.

Suggestions please..

On my wifes new vista system, we have a problem with adding favorites.

The added url appears in C:/users/user name/documents/favorites

Ie is looking in C:/users/user name/favorites

How do I fix it?

Thanks,

Hi Ben,

You will need to change the location of the "Favorites" folder back to
the default location of "C:\Users\(your user name)\Favorites". It looks
like the Favorites folder got placed into the Documents folder.

This tutorial will show you how. You may end up having to Method Two to
make sure the Location path has changed.

Thanks,

I used Method two.... couldn't really understand method one, but Method Two
appears to have worked!

I did add a favorite, it it appeared in favorites.

...... if it works for the Wife, all is well!!!

Thanks again!!!
