Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2008Change favorites folder
I have moved my favorites folder. How do I redirect IE to point to the new location? >I have moved my favorites folder. How do I redirect IE to point to the new > location? What OS? How did you move the folder? Hi Gordon, I simply copied the folder and pasted it in a new directory. I've created a 'data' directory where I have all data - email, addresses, favorites, pictures, videos, documents, etc. This way I have a single backup location. So now that I have my favorites in thie data directory I want to point IE so that it sees this location as my favorites directory and not the default location. I know there are ways to do back up using the default strategy but I'd like to move toward a single location. > >I have moved my favorites folder.

You should have right-clicked on the Favorites folder in Explorer, selected Properties and chosen "Move" on the general tab. That would have automatically pointed IE at it. I think you'll have to put it back and do that. I found the favorites folder in Windows Explorer right clicked clicked on properties and general but there was not a move. Thinking you meant Internet Explorer, where what would I right click on? Nothing I right clicked on gave me a properties option. > > Hi Gordon, > > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > automatically pointed IE at it. I think you'll have to put it back and do > that. Gordon, I didn't follow what you are suggesting. I can't find a move option by right clicking. > I found the favorites folder in Windows Explorer right clicked clicked on > properties and general but there was not a move.

Move the Favorites back to their default location, then download and use Tweakui to move them. The same problem has apparently occured with me! I get an error downloads/favorites/favorites refers to a location that is unavailable. How do I find my favorites file Susan hand restore to original location? > I have moved my favorites folder.
