    IE Favorites


    I keep my favorites saved on my D Drive. After installing Windows 7 I change the location of my favorites to point to my D Drive, however in my browser window when I click on favorites not only do my favorites show but also 'My Documnets' folder with all the files and folders. This is quite annoying for me as I don't want my "my documents' folder showing up there.

    Is there a fix for this as I can't see one and don't know how to fix it?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello Will,

    Welcome to Seven Forums.

    When you point to the new favorites location, you need to point to the specific folder.

    More info: User Folders - Restore Default Location
    User Folders - Change Default Location

    If you have any trouble let us know.

    Hope this helps.

    IE Browser Favorites


    When I click the 'favorites tab' in IE or any browser 'My Documents' folder is showing up as my favorites. This is really frustrating because my browser favorites don't show up. I can't seem to get my favorites to show up unless I put the folder in 'My Documents' folder and I don't want that. Any help is appreciated.

    Hello Will,

    You're IE8 Favorites do not work because you moved the C:\Users\(user-name)\Favorites folder from it's default location. You will need to restore this user folder back to it's default location before it will work in IE8.

    Hope this helps,
