When I click on the Favorites, there are none listed. When I try to add a
new favorite, it gives me the choice to add it, but then they are not there.
Any ideas how to correct this problem.
 
Whe you get a choice you need to click on ADD button. Are you doing it?

Also, if you want them to be available offline then you need to
customise it.

Perhaps the setting is incorrect in the Registry?

You can change the value of Favorites in the Registry in these
two keys: (ignore the second if the value is not there)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders

For Windows 2000/XP:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders]
Set the Favorites path to : %USERPROFILE%\Favorites


The above should be a REG_EXPAND_SZ value, not REG_SZ
