I redirected my Favorites folder and am still able to create new favorites.
To verify that Vista knows what folder you want for Favorites, type
"shell:favorites" in the Start Search box -- this should open an Explorer
window to your Favorites folder.
Assuming the folder opened OK:
1) Right-click the Favorites folder in the left-hand pane & select
'Properties'.
2) In the 'Properties' dialog, select the 'Security' tab.
3) Click the 'Advanced' tab.
4) In the 'Advanced Security...' dialog, click the 'Owner' tab & verify that
you are the current owner. If not, use the 'Edit' button to take ownership.
5) Click the 'Effective Permissions' tab. Click the 'Select...' button &
type your username then click 'OK'. 'Full Control' should be checked. If
not, click the 'Permissions' tab, then the 'Edit' button, then the 'Add'
button. Type your username, 'OK', check the 'Allow' box for Full Control &
OK your way out.

Good Luck,
