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?

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 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.

Win 8.1 / IE 11 - Cannot Move The Items Within Favorites

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.

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.)

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?

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.

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.

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.

OneDrive And SkyDrive In Windows 8.1?

Sep 14, 2014

I have been using Windows 8.1 desktop (Dell 8700) for a little more than 6 months. I am very happy with its performance. The computer is very fast. But here is one hitch. As all of you might know that the original SkkyDrive was converted into OneDrive during Microsoft auto-updating process. OneDrive is the one supposed to be used.

Right now, I see both SkyDrive and OneDrive folders in the computer (even in my Windows 7 computers). There is no SkyDrive in "Uninstall program". So I could not remove the SkyDrive folder. Just "delete" SkyDrive folder" does not work either. Because of this problem, I was not able to study how to use OneDrive.

What is interesting to me is that SkyDrive seems to be still active and OneDrive, dormant. For example, c:UsersusernameOneDrivePicturesCamera Roll is active. The Camera Roll folder in the SkyDrive shows all pictures taken today with iPhone. On the other hand, OneDriveCameral Roll folder has a few old pictures.

how to get rid of the SkyDrive and force OneDrive as an active Cloud storage?

Maintenance :: Skydrive Not In Taskbar

Jun 9, 2013

Running Windows 8 HP. I just installed Skydrive and I wanted to set up sync. No such possibility. The only place my Skydrive shows up is in the library, in windows explorer. For nwo it's empty. On some windows 8 forum it is said that that to set up syncing you need to click on the icon in the taskbar. Well, it's not there. I know you can customize the notification area. But it's not there either, visible or invisible. What now? Should I reinstall the app?

SkyDrive Won't Sync In Windows 8.1

Oct 22, 2013

SkyDrive was working decently for me until recently. These last 2 weeks it stopped syncing. It won't sync my files and folders.

But, when I save a word document directly from Word 2013 to SkyDrive it is synced.

Cannot figure out what is the problem, checked all settings locally (my notebook) as well as online. I have Windows 8.1 (x64) RTM with all the lastest updates installed.
