When I put my user account, which I use for internet
surving, in the "users" group, IE 6 no longer allows me to
view or add Favorites.
When the account is a member of the "power users" group
the Favorites appear. But this group is also allowed to
install dialers and other nasty things.

How can I have a user in the "users" group and
use "favorites" at the same time?
 
Meanwhile I was able to resolve the problem on my own.
There is a registry
key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe
rsion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\" and the
entry "Favorites" was pointing to "WINNT\Favoriten" and
members of the group "users" mustn't access this folder.

I changed the path to the appropriate "Documents and
Settings\..." folder, and now everything works as it
should.
