Vista Tutorial - IE7 Favorites Folder on PGP

09-28-2007

I use Vista, IE7 and PGP 9.6.3. I have created a PGPdisk on my hard
drive called personal and wish to locate the IE7 Favorites folder in
\personal\Favorites, the reason being to encrypt the favorites folder
so that it is password protected, just in case someone steals my
laptop.

I have changed the following two settings to c:\personal\Favorites;

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders

But it doesn't work, I can't add new pages to Favorites or import an
existing bookmark html file to c:\personal\Favorites. However it will
allow me to Organize favorites and add new folders, but not to add
individual webpages to the favorites.

Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.
