Hi raymundka,

Thanks for the reply. Looking again at your earlier post, I see that you briefly upgraded to IE8 and then reverted back to IE7 and the feature became active around this time. It is possible that this is a bug in IE7 which has been fixed in IE8. You can repeat this to see if it solves your problem. I intend to upgrade to IE8, but only when the final version is released.
A question for you. What version of IE are you using? The reason I am asking this is because you have a couple of extra options on the 'Advanced' tab, viz 'Display Activity button on selection' and 'Enable automatic crash recovery'. None of my reference books mention either of these options.

Actually it is 8. I've installed it first - just because my way of thinking is similar to yours - to downgrade and see if the feature starts working.
I reverted back to 7 but the dropdown list opened in full length, not only the frequently visited favorites. So I restored my system to the state when I had IE8 and now I take some time to get used to this build and will let it run for about a week or two to see if the favorites behaviour changes. I didn't want to downgrade again just in order to take a screenshot. IE8 has a nicer interface and lots of new features especially for web developers. It's pretty buggy even though.
I understand if you want to wait for a newer version.
You don't risk much, however , if you install it now. You can use the Vista anytime downgrade feature! It's an update that can be uninstalled, I mean
