How can I move my Favorites folder, please?

The text below contains what you need. It's something I do on my system to
rid myself of a myriad of (IMO) useless folders created by Windows.
Basically, take what you need from the info below and copy it into Notepad.
Save the file as shellfolder.reg and then import the file into RegEdit.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders]
"Favorites"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
