My favorites don't work. When I click it it does nothing. I'm sure there is
a simple fix but I can't find it.

Hi Dan 
Since you did not post necessary information such as the version of Windows
or IE you are using, I can only make a general suggestion. You might 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)

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.
Hope this helps

Dan,
This is most likely due to corrupt InternetShortcut or http file
association. "Reset Web Settings" fixes this symptom. Another option is to
run the command "regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll" from Start/Run dialog.
