I made some changes to my system, I added an external hard drive. I moved the
My Favorites folder to the New Drive. When I rebooted, the drive letters
changed and I lost my Internet Explorer Favorites/Links. I am unable to Add
any address to my Favorites or Organize my Favorites. I tried to Uninstall
Internet Explorer using the Control Panel/Add Remove Programs / Add Remove
Windows Components. I un-checked Internet Explorer and then I rechecked
Internet Explorer. When I run Internet Explorer the LINKS are blank and there
is no functionality to the Add / Organize Favorites.

How can I get my Favorites to work short of a complete Wipe and
Reinstallation of Windows XP?

Please do not multipost the same message to different groups.
The IE6 group you posted in previously is the correct group.
This group is for IE5.5, which you cannot have with XP.
