    favourites folder issue (not IE favourites)


    Hi,

    My "favourites" folder that you find near top left of "computer" or "documents" etcetc isn't working (not the IE favourite folder - annoying) I removed the shortcuts within as they kept coming up with an error, hoping that re'favouriting' them would stop the issue. But now i cant re'favourite' anything at all
    Maybe this is because i didnt stop sharing? But I didnt realise they were shared or anything and im guessing the "pathway" is now messed up because its trying to go to "Scasy" but it now says "Scary" - or some such?

    Sorry I hope this makes sense

    Hello Sarah, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    The tutorial below may be able to help fix this for you. If not, then be sure to try the yellow TIP box at the bottom of the tutorial. :)
    If after you get Favorites fixed there are any shortcut links missing, then the tutorial below can help you get the defaults ones restored.
    Hope this helps,

Hi, Help would be appreciated. My favourites folder will not appear on my homepage. I can see the folder in 'C:\Users\Users\Favourites' and it does indeed contain all my favourites. I have windows 7 home premium with Internet explorer. Forgive my ignorance but please reply in simple terms.

Anyone know why it is that every time I go to 'My Favourites' and click on Windows 7 Forums I am told the heading is inaccurate, go to the internet and search for it, or some such message please?
