Hello Eric,
According to your description, I understand you want to change the path of
Favorites in Internet Explorer.
Based on my experience, I would suggest you perform the following steps to
change the path in the registry:
1. Click Start - Run, type REGEDIT and then press Enter.
2. Locate and select the following registry subkey,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders
3. Double click Favorites (on the right), and then type the desired
location in Value data textbox.
4. Then immediately change the Favorites' Value data in the following
subkey to match it:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders
5. Close registry editor and log off/log back on.
This should place the favorites that are available in IE and added from now
on to the Alternate location. The key values remain the same since the
Favorites key value in BOTH the Shell Folders and the User Shell folders
were changed at the same time. These two keys need to be consistent or the
value reverts back to the default.
If there is anything unclear or you need further assistance on this issue,
please feel free to let me know.
