Hi Oleg
Thanks, But it doesn't work
The the following:
#1. Find the folder where the old Favorites are located
View>Select All>Right click>select Copy
Paste them into the new folder
They should not appear in the Favorites when you open IE
#2. First make a backup copy of the old Favorites folder, then copy all the
contents of the old Folder to the new one. Then close the new Folder,
highlight it, don't open it, then Right-drag this folder to the location you
want to use it instead, i.e., your C:\Documents and
Settings\{yourusername]\My
Documents" folder and then choose Move here from the menu that pops up when
you drop the folder. IF it asks if you want to replace the old Folder say
yes. If it won't let you replace the folder, then delete the old folder and
do the Right drag process again and this time it sould let you move it. IE
will then automatically reset all the references to that new location, and
all the Favorites should appear in your Favorites menu in IE.
#3. If the above methods do not work, then you may have to make manual
changes in the Registry to change the default location of the Favorites by
making an adjustment in the Register using the methods below. However, make
sure you back it up the Registry before you make any changes.

Your favorites folder may be corrupt or damaged. Try createing a new one
with the instructions here:

You need to edit the registry. See "Description of the Microsoft Windows
