Added Favorites Not Found

On my wifes new vista system, we have a problem with adding favorites.

When browsing, and on a siste that we wish to save as a favorite, add is
clicked, and it appears the favorite is saved, but it cannot be located in
favorites.

If the same link is visited again, and add selected, it says favorite already
exists.

Favorites had been imported from old bookmark file.

Running Vista Home Premium on Dell Inspiron 531.

Suggestions please..

Ben

Hi Ben

You will need to change the location of the "Favorites" folder back t
the default location of "C:\Users\(your user name)\Favorites". It look
like the Favorites folder got placed into the Documents folder

This tutorial will show you how. You may end up having to Method Two t
make sure the Location path has changed

The added url appears in C:/users/user name/documents/favorites

Ie is looking in C:/users/user name/favorites

How do I fix it?

Ben

appears to have worked!
