Favorites folder geotso <ge-o-tso[ at ]hotmail.com> 10/28/2008 4:09:34 PM I know that I can move my profile's folders (Documents, Images, Music etc) where I want them to by right click > Properties > Location > Move. Well, I accidentally moved the Favorites folder from my profile to the root folder of D: and not to D:\Favorites (a folder I had created for that reason). Is there a way to move them back to the place I want (D:\Favorites)? -- Please remove hyphens to contact me ----- --- -- -- - geotso ----- --- -- -- -

Re: Favorites folder Brink <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 10/28/2008 4:48:13 PM Hello Geotso, You can use Method Two (steps 2 to 6) in the tutorial below to change the location to what you wanted it to be in the registry to fix it. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/107990-personal-user-shell-folders-move-location.html However, changing the default location of the "C:\Users\(User Name)\Favorites" folder will usually cause Favorites in IE7 to no longer work.

Re: Favorites folder "Ramesh Srinivasan, MS-MVP" <ramesh[ at ]unknownhost> 10/28/2008 5:45:44 PM Hi geotso, You'll have to fix the "Favorites" shell folder path in the registry.

Fixed. The only thing, I had to reboot twice, after registry tweak and after folder renaming.

I exported Favorites before the fix, gave full control permissions to the new Favorites folder and imported them back after it. Thanks again
