Windows 7: Can't add to IE Favorites after moving the location of Favorites

Can't add to IE Favorites after moving the location of Favorites

Hi, I got a new desktop PC a few weeks ago and immediately cloned Windows to a (hybrid) SSD drive. I then went about moving the location of the Windows folders from my SSD drive to one of the other larger drives (using option 2 on the tutorial: User Folders - Change Default Location ).

Now when I select "Add to Favorites" from IE9, it doesn't do the add (or errror or anything!). I've tried doing a Reset of IE - but that hasn't helped.
Also worth noting that when I drag the link to the Favorites Bar, this works fine (so I don't think it can be a priviledge/read only problem)?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Hello WinchesterStoke,

May have been some issue during the moving of the "Favorites" folder. See if restoring it's default location using OPTION TWO in the tutorial below will allow it to work properly again.
User Folders - Restore Default Location
Afterwards, try moving the folder again being sure to not have the folder set to be shared with anyone first.

Hope this helps for now,
Shawn
