    Hi,
    I've done agian (for the 3rd time) the steps again:
    - downloaded the .reg file and merged and logged out.
    - downloaded LNK file and merged and logged out.
    - checked that the C:\Users\(user-name)\Links folder is set to the default location.


    when I downloaded the file for reseting the defult location (blank screen) for favorites it suddenly worked!
    Thanks,
    Amitai
