Favorites: Read Only?

[Nigel Molesworth]

I keep them all in major folders. I don't use Favorites per se.

You mean you keep Internet shortcuts in other relevant places? Well,
yeah, I do that too.

For the most part (actually, I'm pretty sure this is true for ALL the
special folders), I had existing folders from long ago. I might have set up
some of them on my data drive back in my XP Home days. I probably finalized
it during my XP Pro days. I might have put some tweaks in during a previous
install of Vista Ultra RTM. Anyway, as far as this install is concerned, I
copied those old, existing folders from my backed up (just copied over,
either manually or via SyncToy) versions on an external drive. Then,
immediately after getting Vista up-and-running, I did the same as you:
right-click | Properties | Location | Move | Copy all the files over to
avoid directory structure. It would probably have been better to move the
special files first and then copy my files INTO those freshly-moved
Vista-created folders. I wonder if I'd have to come up with some way to
force the "inheritance" of the new, valid, top-level permissions and
integrity-levels down into those copied files/folders (overwriting all the
garbage levels from old, defunct systems)?

This problem only occures if you set the new favorites folder to a different
hdd. My question is: Is there a reason for windows not setting the integrity
level to low when we move the favorites to a new drive or is this a bug? If
this is a bug, which is more likely, I don't understand why it isn't still
corrected in windows update...
