Favories gone?

[Guest]

The favorites menus on two of the limited account are completely gray.
I have found the favorites folder and see no thing wrong. Thanks a head of
time.

Hi gir computer

Try the following and see if it helps:

Favorites are missing

Courtesy of Remesh -

Open Registry Editor and navigate to this location:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders]
In the right-pane, double-click "Favorites" and copy the value and post it
here.

The correct value should be: "%USERPROFILE%\Favorites"

or........................

Use FolderRedirector utility and reset the shell folder paths for Favorites
to the default values (both user shell folders and shell folders registry
keys)

Favorites do not show in side panel

Courtesy of Sandi -

Is the pushpin in (locked) or out (autohide). Sometimes toggling the setting
works.

Also, deleting these registry keys *may* help:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\window_placement

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Desktop\OldWorkAreas\OldWorkAreaRects



If these steps do not resolve your problem, or you need help with the above,
please post back to this thread with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps
