Any ideas here??

Have you tried disabling shortcut overlays?

I don't believe so. I see all my Favorite links I
assigned there.

I can vaguely recall having a similar issue. Have a look at the permissions
for the folder. I think at the moment it only has rights for IE in
Protected Mode, and not your user account. Either use the Security tab or
the ICACLS command.

Thanks. Not a big deal for me.
I'll look into it.

Thanks again,
James
