Hi,

Right click the folder under the user profile and select properties. Go to

Re: Change Favorites-Folder Path

That's the Solution :

Open an admin command prompt
(right-click Command Prompt and click Run As Administrator)
Browse to the folder that contains your favorites folder
Type: icacls favorites /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low

Found in this Newsgroup.

Thanks !
