| | Favorites folder I know that I can move my profile's folders (Documents, Images, Music etc) where I want them to by right click > Properties > Location > Move. Well, I accidentally moved the Favorites folder from my profile to the root folder of D: and not to D:\Favorites (a folder I had created for that reason). Is there a way to move them back to the place I want (D:\Favorites)? -- Please remove hyphens to contact me ----- --- -- -- - geotso ----- --- -- -- - |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Favorites folder Hello Geotso, You can use Method Two (steps 2 to 6) in the tutorial below to change the location to what you wanted it to be in the registry to fix it.
