[gui-talk] straightening out my favorites

[Joel Deutsch]

Andy,

I noticed that soon after I started using Win XP Home. I had no idea, and 
still have no idea, why it's set up like that, but out of curiosity, I 
simply looked into each of those Favorites folders to see which ones 
contained the actual items on my Favorites list in Internet Explorer. Well, 
two of them contained only a couple of default items related to Microsoft 
stuff. But the third one, under my Documents and settings/Admin folder, 
contained all my actual Favorites. So that's where I've considered my 
Favorites to reside, and that's where I sometimes go to sort them or delete 
some of them or whatever, if I don't feel like using the methods I think you 
can do right there in IE.

I'm sure there's a reason for the seeming redundancy. But just so I know 
where to find the files or shortcuts or whatever they're properly called, I 
don't need to know the reason, I guess.

I am currently at work, on a networked PC.  just for grins, I went into
My Computer, and under Local Disk C, I found a "Favorites" folder in 3
places, i. e. under All Users, Default user, and under the folder
bearing my name.  So this suggests that it is possible to have more than
one "Favorites" folder.

Did you look under "my documents\yourlogin"?
I have never seen the favorites folder under the all users sub folder...
Also, could she have changed the folder options to hide system files? Go
to the folder options under the view tab and look at the tree view of
options there and see if they are to your liking.
Finally, you can always have windows put the favorites folder on the
start menu -- just go to the control panel under task bar and start menu
options.

I am desperately in need of someone who is computer knowledgeable to
help me
with my latest computer dilemma. Today, my daughter unwittingly made a
change to my folders and now my "favorites" have disappeared. I found
them
all residing in a folder under documents and settings/all users, but I
don't
know how to get that folder back into my IE7 under favorites. I can
access
each website, but I must first go to documents and settings to do so.
Any
suggestions on how to move this folder back where it belongs. I already
tried system restore and it didn't change anything. Any help would be
monumentally appreciated. I have spent all day at this, much to the
detriment of my work, which is medical transcription.
