Favorites Have Moved
Jun 10, 2009
I'm using Vista Enterprise at work and had to move cubicles. I copied all my documents from my old computer (also Vista Enterprise) and my favorites folder to a thumb drive, then without thinking coppied them all back to the Documents folder on this computer.
Now instead of IE7 looking in the C:Usersmy_name directory for the Favorites folder it or i have somehow created another favorites folder inside my old favorites folder in Documents and it's looking for the favorites there.
How do i redirect IE7 to find my favorites in the Favorites folder in the User folder?

This is my third post (twice in IE 7 forum...no answer). I cannot delete favorites from favorites list. I have tried deleting while in safe mode also. After a short while they reappear again and seem to be multiplying! I cannot find the temporary folder either. I have Compaq Presario with Windows Vista Home Basic and Explorer 7 installed from factory. Purchased January of this year. I am familiar with Windows Xp and could find my way around the computer files, but Vista is really different and complicated! I do not know what else to do. I also have Webroot AntiVirus with AntiSpyware installed and have unchecked the box for favorites sheild because I am constantly being asked to keep or remove the favorites, but if I click remove they still return and I am asked over and over again the same question.

After three days of bliss with Vista Ultimate x64 I've already had it. Could someone give me a hint where Vista moved the files I thought I was dragging across the LAN onto my new desktop. I'd like to have them back when I get XP Pro x64 installed.

Somehow, my Links folder (the one that contains the "favorite links" in the left panel of an explorer window) got moved into my Pictures folder --> C:Users(my name)PicturesLinks. This must have happened quite some time ago... I think it should be located here: C:Users(my name)Links - correct? If I right click and go into properties, the location tab allows me to move this folder. I get two messages - one asking me if I really want to move the folder and its contents (it's just some shortcuts), and the second if I want to direct the Links folder into another system folder "Profile" located at C:Users(my name). It also says if I proceed with the redirection I will not be able to separate them or restore the default location... I don't quite get what that means...

I don't a lot of stuff and usually it all ends up on the desktop. It usually stays there for a while and annoys me. Is there a way that I can download to desktop ,but as soon as the file hits the desktop its moved to another file. So there is no desktop icons at all?

when i click on a file to delete it, it comes up with this ---> "The... folder does not exist. The file may have been moved or deleted."
I think I have deleted these files a while ago but when i search for them they show up
as 0 bytes.
I tried - creating a new folder with the same name and putting those files in and then deleting them, but doesn't work. I tried Hijack this and delete on reboot, can't open as file does not exist for deletion.

recently any files i either a) delete/move in bulk while holding the CTRL button or b) entire folders i delete, have been reappearing when my computer restarts after shutdown. the deletion shows up in my recycle bin or the destination i moved it to, but it's like another copy appears in its place. these have so far been .mp3 or .jpg files (i haven't tried it on any other kind). i've emptied the recycle bin and they still appear. what could be causing this?

Yesterday, the Windows Mail shortcut that had been in the pop-up list in the left of the task bar moved to the desktop. I do not want that shortcut on the desktop. How do I get it back in the pop-up list?

My computer crashed & I had to repair the system. The User that I entered is "xxxxxx". When I restored my backup files to their original location my mail box, which I had relocated from its default location to "Documents", reinstalled to the user name of my original installation "xxx". I then started Windows Mail and selected the mail box to that location. However when I try to restart Windows Mail I get the following "Windows Mail could not be started. The application was unable to openthe Windows Mail message store. Your Windows Mailmailbox data is currently being used by another program...............(0x800C0155)"When I click OK I get a window showing "Windows Mail could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be initialized. Is there a solution other than repairing Vista again?

I recently switched from an XP machine to a Vista machine (yes, I am an old newbie). I retained most of my programs. However, they do not behave the same. In particular, under XP if I did a Ctrl-Click on a link (e.g., table of contents page in MS Word) I would be moved to the link target.
However, under Vista I get the message "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effecxt on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." Since I am the system administrator, and only user, on this machine, this doesn't he;[ much. I assume it has something to do with some security setting in Vista but have been unable to figure out where or how to "fix" it.

Admittedly I may have done something to cause this but I can not get it right: Vista Home premium, 32 bit. New User, new PC. Had all data and music files on external HDD's. Moved data (documents, pictures) over last week, and moved Music files over to C drive today.
On Taskbar, at Start button, click on button, On right side of Start menu there are: under my picture, choices for "Me (user)", Documents, Pictures, Music, Games, then a divide and then, Search, Recent Items, Computer and so on. If I click on Documents I go to the folder with files of documents. Same with Pictures. The files from both Documents and Pictures came from an external HDD.............

I have a Vista64 Ultimate system. A few weeks after the initial build, I determined that the hard disk was bad as it would hang until it had run and warmed up for quite a while. Purchased a new hard disk and reinstalled windows. As part of the "new" install, I used an 8Gig USB drive to transfer personal files (including Favorites) from the old system/hard disk to the new one. Process was to boot up windows on the old hard disk, transfer files to the USB drive, boot up windows on the new hard disk and transfer the files from the USB drive to the new C: drive.
The new hard disk/system is working fine except I cannot add new bookmarks/favorites to favorite folders I transferred when surfing the net.
With UAC ON, I get the following error: Unable to Create "internet site" Unspecified Error
when trying to save or paste a new internet site/url to folders I transferred from the old hard disk. Files CAN be saved directly to the Favorites directory. With UAC OFF, all favorite saves work as expected. I have tried "taking ownership" of each and every folder in the Favorites directory, but the problem remains. I would really like to use UAC for what its worth, but the problem of not being able to save URLs without turning UAC off and rebooting makes it REALLY hard.

I was having problems with Powerdesk 7 and creating new favorites. I found a work around until they fix it. Add a folder at the end of this path:
C:UsersYOURNAMEHEREAppDataRoamingAvanquestPowerDesk
Named "Favorites" without the quotes and you will have the ability to use your favorites folders again. (Close and reopen PD after you add this folder).

Although solved I cannot explain. I have a new Dell desktop with Vista Home Premium SP1 (64) with Workgroups changed to MSHOME to match my older Dell running XP-HOme. Vista Networking and Sharing Control configured as Private and all Sharing 'On\\" except Password. No problem mapping to my XP's C, D and E partitions. Although Documents and Setting would open, not the \\"myfile\\" sub folder where I wanted to view Favorites and move some to my new computer.
After much trial and error found that if I specifically selected the Favorites folder and under properties chose Sharing and selected option to share, I then was successful at least in mapping this folder and transferring necessary files although I still could not open if attempted through the mapped C drive where I could not get beneath the Documents and Setting folder...

I have reinstalled my OS. Since then, my IE7 Favorites list (the dropdown menu that expands when clicking Favorites on the Menu Bar) opens in full length. The "Enable personalized favorites menu" option in Internet Explorer 7 does not hide my less frequently used favorites as expected any more. Is it a question of time until the list collapses and expands (I mean Vista learns my habits) or is it an issue that can be resolved?

Is there a way to scroll through the favorites quickly that I am missing? The only options I find are the up and down arrows above and below the list of favs. If I want one at the end, I need to hold the cursor on the down arrow until it finally and slowly reaches the end.

we are a college and we have a multiple user platform, but in our labs we have shortcuts on the desktop to all of the school's subscriptions, like MyItLab, and Courseport etc. I have created these as a favorite in IE7 and cannot right click and send to desktop a shortcut! We need the shortcuts to show, and we need them to show for all users. At this point, I cannot get them to show for any user including myself that has admin priveledges!

Can't believe Micro apparently forgot to enable that option. The button to the far left of your tabs, is a waste, for me, yet I can't seem to remove it in any way.

I have a Compac desktop, running Windows 7 (upgrade from Vista) and Explorer 8. My problem is the web pages that I go to and add to my favorites will not remember me. Each time for instance I go to Bank of America I have to put in all my login info again. Same with TV guide.will not remember my zip code, although it's supposed to. Is there some sort of setting I should have checked or something? It's really getting annoying to have to put in the same info time after time.

I got a virus called trojan.fakeinit virus and I tried to remove this virus and I think I got it removed. And the side effects of this virus were that I couldn't manage to get into my task manger, than my favorites disappeared (well it is on my favorites file but I can't use the favorites on the exploer. I might have erased some registries by accidently .....) So I still have some viruses called
1. adware.component.unrelated,
2. trojan.generic,
3. application.trakingcookie.
I want to remove these anyone know free softwares that can remove these? I want to recover my favorites and task manager. And i get similar to this (c;windowssystem32confifdestop not accessible) when i try to download a file or even I tried to attach some file into this thread... DO I just have to formet my computer?

I used Favorites alot in Windows explorer (not IE). It saved me huge amounts of navigation time. It is really rotten that it is not available. As a matter of fact, the whole hidden navigation, lack of easily viewable menus only slows me down and makes working with Windows Vista very, very, frustrating. At least put offline Favorites back in Windows Explorer. Favorites should not just be an Internet feature. When I want to dive 7 levels down to a particular folder, I want to do it right now, not 8 clicks from now.

just downloaded IE8, and now, seemingly randomly, I can't access my Favorites from the altC or altA bar whatsoever. even more odd, the Favorites folder has disappeared from My Documents (i reassiged the location to a backup drive previously, but that is still there). when I try to bookmark something (ctrlD, or click add to favorites) absolutely nothing happens.. no popup, no nothing.
i've tried several things already from changing downloading the fix_fav_il prompt, to resetting folder properties, etc. and i tried uninstalling/reinstalling IE8 already, which didn't help anything nothing seems to work. I feel like if the Favorites folder would reappear in MyDocuments, I might be able to figure something out, but it just won't come back!

I short time ago I noticed that the personalization of some parts of my browser had been taken over by MSN and bing. I don't know how this has happened and I'd like to be able to go back to the way I had it set up. My toolbar was different, favorites had changed and now there is a list of MSN sites, which i didn't add to favorites, search was taken over by bing and I'm tired of things like this happening to my system. What is going on and what can I do about it? How do I get rid of all of this and get back to the way I had my browser set up? What about this Microsoft Live too? Why is that now on my system and why do I have to have a 'LIVE' ID and PASSWORD to sing into these newsgroups now instead of just my old ID and password that I use to sign in with for years?
