favorites

I have made a reg file that is supposed to change the location of two folders. I execute the reg file, and I checked the registry and my changes are there. But when I start the computer, the programs in the old startup location run instead of the new location, and the IE favorites are also still...

Every once in a while, 4 or 5 of my favorites just up and go away, why? Even this site has gone away and I just had to find it again and put it in my favorites. i.e. the Weather site, my Trike sites and so on. I have the tool bar locked, not sure if that is part of it.

This may not be the right place for this question, but if not, maybe someone can direct me to a forum as good as this one? I have been considering changing from Google Chrome to Internet Explorer because of reported lower power consumption of Internet Explorer. I have experimented with...

I set up a bunch of web site favorites in IE10 or bookmarks in Firefox 33.0 and was able to connect to them. All of a sudden they are timing out trying to get to them. Some web sites are OK. Any idea what may be causing this? I was able to access them before but for the last couple of days...

No idea what I did, all of a sudden I have a Recent Places shortcut on my desktop and I am unable to delete because right click at it does not provide Delete option. I tried to drag/drop the shortcut to Recycle Bin, wouldn't take it. I even "removed" Recent Places from under Favorites folder...

I have an account on OneDrive for Business. After synching, I see a OneDrive header in Windows explorer. I didn't like the name Windows gave it so I changed it to something else. I did this by opening the "OneDrive" tree, selecting the library and changed the name. But after re-boot, I find...

I must do a factory restore and i want all of my bookmarks on my internet explorer bar to be saved on a flash drive but i cant find the right folder. i go into the owner folder click on favorites and click on favorites bar but it doesnt list all of the favorites that are actually on my internet...

Hi everyone I just got a new laptop running Windows 8, and I'm not so familiar with this exact version (though I'm as familiar with Windows in general as the next person). I'm currently in the process of tweaking some details to make it more to my liking, and doing so, I made a tiny little...

Hello On both my desktop and laptop which have Win 8.1 and are quite similar, I cannot move the items within Favorites. I can click on one and it opens but if I try to hold it down and move it up or down, I no longer can since Win 8.1 was installed. I tried reinstalling the favorites with import...

I am a new user of Windows 8. Can I presume that bookmarking a web site is similar to adding that site to my Favorites folder in earlier versions of Windows? If so, where do I access these bookmarks once created, and can they be merged with my Favorites folder? Gordon Houston, TX

I'm looking for the best way to prep (i.e. save settings, favorites, etc.) in order to uninstall/reinstall IE10. I still have remnants of the nasty "full-speed enabled" hanging around that I want to get rid of before upgrading to Win 8 soon. Thanks.

I keep getting dropdown boxes saying undo,redo,cutetc plus others that say back, forward, reload,print, translate,favorites etc. When typing a sentence a box drops down characters get moved back in the sentence or other locations. This renders any typing unless. Thanks Roger

Windows 8 does not sync IE 10 favorites (and maybe other stuff) between my two computers. Both have Win 8 Pro 64-bit using the same MS account. Both have all sync settings turned on. Is there something else I must do to enable syncing? Thanks

Can not find anything about the transparency of IE9 favorites, commands, or status bars. Or at least how to change color them to something different. The blue does not work. Has anyone changed the color?

Using Windows 7, my "C" drive is a small solid state drive and all I wish to have on it is my Win 7 operating system. My "D" drive is mechanical and 500 Gig so I would like to have as much as possible on that drive. How do I move my Favorites folder to my "D" drive and have it always...

I finally figured out how to add a website to my "Favorites", but now I can't figure out how to find them again. Any suggestions?

All my websites shorcuts open in half sized window. However if I open the browser first and then I click same shorcuts, they open full size. I have searched this for a long time so just to let you know, the right click and then set to maximized isn't available on website shorcuts and expanding...

I somehow managed to rename the libraries as well as the 'Favorites' about half a year ago. I don't recall how, but remember that it took a lot of trial and error. It worked perfectly and consistently in the start menu and the window manager. Now, with the latest update (13 important) it all...
