Not sure what i did here or if it was even me.

I'm using Vista Enterprise at work and had to move cubicles. I copied all my documents from my old computer (also Vista Enterprise) and my favorites folder to a thumb drive, then without thinking coppied them all back to the Documents folder on this computer.

Now instead of IE7 looking in the C:\Users\my_name\ directory for the Favorites folder it or i have somehow created another favorites folder inside my old favorites folder in Documents and it's looking for the favorites there.

How do i redirect IE7 to find my favorites in the Favorites folder in the User folder?

Hello Kormath,

Welcome to the forums.

Try right click on each of the favorites folder/properties and see if there is a location tab. If so click on restore default. That should move it back to you users folder.

Hope this helps. Please keep us posted.

Hi

I have had much the same problem, only when I open favorites properties there is no 'location' tab, it first started in IE7 so I upgraded to IE8 but no help there...

Every time I click favorites I get the error message

C:\\Users\Andy\Documents\Favorites\Favorites refers to a location that is unavailable

3 years later I also get the same problem and solved it thanks to the indications posted by Gary at that time.
Thanks a lot
