Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2008Can't Access Favorites
I'm no longer able to access my Favorites. I see the folder listed under C:\Walt, the same location as my Documents, Music, etc. folders. If I Run shell:Favorites I'm pointed to Walt\Start Menu\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu. Any help would be appreciated. > I'm no longer able to access my Favorites.

For one thing, \Walt should be in C:\Users. How did you move it and why?. SignatureFrank Saunders MS-MVP IE,OE/WM Do not reply with email I can't say why \Walt is where it is. If it was moved, it was not intentional. I got around the problem by pointing favorites to it's current location. The Favorites have been restored. Thanks for your help. > > Vista Home Premium, IE7 > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > That is not the default location. For one thing, \Walt should be in > C:\Users. How did you move it and why?. Although I restored my Favorites by changing shell:Favorites I now see Roaming folder in my program groups from the Start menu. You mentioned that my \Walt should be in C:\Users. If Walt was moved it happened by accident because I woud have ne reason to move it. Can you tell me what the default locations should be?

If I Run > shell:Favorites I'm pointed to Walt\Start > Menu\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu. How long has that Roaming level been there? E.g one possibility would be that Roaming was instituted recently and now you just have to repopulate that folder with whatever you want. > Any help would be appreciated. Are you using a corporate PC? Perhaps you should check with its administrator? --- This is my home PC and quite honestly I have no idea what Roaming in the context of the folder location > > I'm no longer able to access my Favorites.
