Bookmarks And Favorites In Windows 8

Sep 11, 2013

I am a new user of Windows 8. Can I presume that bookmarking a web site is similar to adding that site to my Favorites folder in earlier versions of Windows? If so, where do I access these bookmarks once created, and can they be merged with my Favorites folder?

How Much Room Needed On CD For Burning Favorites / Bookmarks

Sep 1, 2013

I burned about 400kb's worth of favorites onto new blank cd. But when I then check to see just how much of the cd was used up, it says 29mb's. How can that be if the 400kb's of favorites is less than one-half of one mb? I wrongly put this question in the browsers and mail forum. Had one answer, sounded like they meant a certain minimum amount is always used up before you burn your stuff...I think. Or does it indicate I burned them incorrectly?

Apps / Software :: ICloud Creating Duplicate Bookmarks - Due To Win 8.1 Sync?

Jul 28, 2014

I am running iCloud on multiple PC's. Everything was fine until I had it running on two 8.1 PC's, then I started having problems.

In total, iCloud was running on one Win 7 Pro PC and two Windows 8.1 PC's. My theory is that the two Windows 8.1 PC's were syncing via iCloud and Skydrive (or Onedrive) which is set up by default. But they were able to read each other's settings okay. But Win 7 doesn't have the same sync settings, so the bookmarks were being written in 8.1 and then multiplying in Win 7.

I'm not sure, but this is my theory. Running on all Win 7 is okay. Running on all Win 8.1 seems okay. But combining the two OS's with iCloud seems to cause some problems.

Maintenance :: How To Recreate Windows Explorer Favorites

May 14, 2013

I deleted my links and favorites folders the other day, not realizing what I was doing. Now I want the "links" folder back, because I miss the Favorites in the navigation pane of Windows Explorer. What I need to know is how to re-create the "links" folder.

This thread dealt with a similar problem; however, I need some explanation on how to make the "links" folder and have it recognized as the default folder for Favorites. I've tried to find some info on how to make a shell folder but nothing's made much sense or worked for me.

Windows 8 - How To Access IE Favorites And Internet Options

Feb 8, 2014

New to Windows 8 - it came with my new Lenovo laptop. Forgive me if I'm asking questions that are answered elsewhere - I looked, but did not find these answered.

How to do some of the things I'm used to doing, especially in IE, where I no longer see a top menu bar.

How do I add and access Favorites? How do I get to Internet Options?

How do I email a link to someone? (I tried right-clicking several places - no luck.)

Windows 8.1 Pro - Favorites Gone From File Explorer Navigation Pane

Oct 18, 2013

Upgraded my Win 8 Pro to Win 8.1 Pro and problems started.

Now my File Explorer Navigation Pane Favorites feature is completely missing and cannot be restored, regardless of what I have tried.

I have tried:

1. File Explorer ribbon / View tab / Navigation Pane / Show Favorites = ON

2. Folder Options / General tab / Navigation Pane / Show favorites = ON (also have tried Restore Defaults)

3. Recreate "C:Users<my user name>Links" folder and create a link inside it.

4. Run the "fix_empty_favorites.reg" file

Favorites Empty in Navigation Pane - Fix - Windows 7 Forums

5. Run "Add_Favorites_to_Navigation_Pane.bat" file:

Favorites - Add or Remove from Navigation Pane in Windows 8

6. Manually restore Default Favorite Links :

Favorites - Restore Default Favorite Links in Navigation Pane - Windows 7 Forums

7. Ensure "{BFB9D5E0-C6A9-404C-B2B2-AE6DB6AF4968}" registry branch that is pointing to my proper Links folder as per :

User Folders - Restore Default Location - Windows 7 Forums

8. Remove/detach from Homegroup (don't need it).

Homegroup - Change File and Folder Sharing Settings - Windows 7 Forums

9. Added. Right click on the Navigation pane and Select "Show Favorites" to be ON.

... and of course, log out/login AND reboot multiple times after all of the above.

The Favorites will not appear on Navigation pane.

Can't Add SkyDrive To Favorites

Sep 5, 2013

On my Surface RT, I signed in with a LOCAL account (since I hate having to put in passwords to unlock it), then used my Microsoft account to sign into the Store, Skype, SkyDrive and all the other apps.

However, even after signing into SkyDrive, there is no folder for it in the Favorites library, so I have no way of accessing my files from the Desktop. The SkyDrive "app" itself is useless, I can't even copy the files to my local drive (and I have things like Windows 8 themes, which cannot be opened directly from Metro)

I tried uninstalling the app and re-installing it, somehow it remembered my Microsoft account login and showed my files again, but STILL no shortcut in Explorer! What gives?

How To Burn / Copy Favorites Onto CD

Aug 21, 2013

I always get stuck on a couple of steps...things on my screen are not the way it says, or I don't get what is meant, or it sounds like it is assuming the reader knows how to "then, just follow the steps"...but I don't get what is meant by some terminology.

Feel really dumb after having read so many articles and still can't do it. Lots of the articles say to do different things. Not even sure what type of cd to use, I have some on hand I think are okay. Guess I really need a step-by-step walk thru for EACH step.

Comp got really fouled up, and even the built-in refresh or reset made no difference, in fact, made things worse. I want to save the favorites because I'll be reinstalling everything to the way it was new via the recovery discs I had to buy from manufacturer, then I want to be able to put the favorites back on, and hope things are fixed.

here's a link to follow. But I get stuck. Or they will type out the process for doing it, but there's always a few spots where it assumes the reader knows certain stuff.

On both my desktop and laptop which have Win 8.1 and are quite similar, I cannot move the items within Favorites.

Dell :: XPS 8500 - Setup Folder For Favorites

Dec 10, 2012

Just bought this new XPS 8500 great computer.  However, trying to learn the new Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10 is an experience.  Am unable to see all the favorites and realize maybe I should organize them better.  Therefore, how would you setup a folder(s) to better organize favorites.  I tried to follow the directions by going to Windows website and they state that you click on the add to Favorites and an option related to a folder shows up.  However, I only see the option to add to Favorites or to pin to start.

Apps / Software :: OneDrive Link In Explorer Favorites Keeps Getting Removed?

Aug 19, 2014

My notebook is setup with a local account instead being logged in with a Microsoft. Since Microsoft doesn't allow you to use OneDrive in Windows 8.1 with a local or network domain, I'm using the program syncDriver so I can continue using OneDrive on my notebook.

The issue I'm having is that when I add a link to OneDrive in my Windows Explorer Favorites, the link will get removed at some point without my interaction. My guess is that Windows is removing the link from favorites but I can't figure out when or why it's doing this.

how to stop Windows from doing this?

Browsers/Mail :: Internet Explorer Favorites Saved On Microsoft Account

Jun 22, 2014

I recently switched from a local account to a MS account & noticed that it brought in my saved favorites (from the last time I had a MS acct using Win 8), which caused some duplicates.

While I was going thru & deleting the duplicates, I accidently deleted some of my favorites. What I am trying to do is see if there is a way to look at the IE favorites saved to my MS account & then re add the missing ones back really quick.

Start Screen Search Won't Search IE Favorites Websites

Apr 8, 2013

It seems I have to open File Explorer and use the search box there to search the contents of my IE Favorites folder. Is there anyway to add the same capability to the Start Screen Search. So far all I can do is put in the word "favorites" and start screen search finds the Favorites folder but it can't find any of the internet shortcuts (*.url files) within the Favorites folder. Is this normal? If so how can I change the normal behavior so it works like the start button search from Vista and Win7?

Setup Installation :: Windows 8 Dual Boot - Windows 7 Restarts Instead Of Direct Booting

Feb 8, 2013

When Windows 8 menu appears on start and I choose W7 - instead of loading W7directly , the computer is new-starting again and only than starts w7. That's a funny "behaviour"....

Also, after starting the computer, the menu is not directly shown up, first is this turning wi8 circle (like in the setup) and only about 30 sec. later comes the menu. I am using windows 8 enterprise, test version.

Network / Sharing :: Connecting To Windows 8 Laptop From Windows 7 - Sign In Credentials Not Accepted

May 6, 2013

Have a question regarding "Local Account". I'm having problems connecting to the Win 8 laptop from Win 7 as it will not accept my sign in credentials. With that, am I to assume that this is because the credential aren't "Local", and thus this is what this is for???

It will not accept the "Microsoft" account I use to log into Win 8 laptop.

With that, if I choose to go with the "local account" can I easily switch back to the Microsoft one?

Setup Installation :: How To Install Windows 7 Along Side Factory Installed Windows 8

Jul 2, 2013

In a few days I will receive a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon with Windows 8 installed. And separately I will receive an OEM Win7. Win7 is certainly what I intend to use, and I had originally thought I would wipe out Windows 8 and install Win7. But now I am wondering if I can somehow preserve Windows 8 for occasional use. (I would have ordered the machine with Win7 but this is a refurbished machine.)

I would rather not have to understand UEFI. (I'm sure it would be interesting, I just have other things to do with my time.) And, although I do it sometimes, and will if I have to, I do not like diddling with BIOS settings.

I know that factory installed operating systems generally can't be moved to other machines. And I fear that the factory installed Windows 8 that I will receive may not even tolerate being installed, e.g., in a smaller partition or under something like VMware (another complication I'd like to avoid).
