My laptop runs with Vista and has internet explorer 8 however I am having a
problem with the favourites folder.
My other computer running XP has the favourites folder in >C>documents and
settings>my name>favourites but this is not available in my version of
vista.
I can add web sites to favourites in the web window and they stay there but
I would like to know where the folder is held - using search does not find
it and in fact when I try I get a message like >C>my
name>documents>favorites is a location that is not available.
I did try to uninstall explorer 8 and reload but that did not change
anything.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you

Hi,
Your Favorites folder in Vista should be at
Local Disk (C)> Users> accountname> Favorites.

Patient (demonstrating): "Doctor, it hurts when I do this!"
Doctor: "Don't do that."

Don't do that.
