Favorites folder

I had to move all my data manually to a new hard drive. WinXP sp2. I can't
seem to find the favorites folder for IE. I moved the folder from the old
drive to the new one in exactly the same place, however, IE fails to list
any of my links.

Welcome to the News Groups for Microsoft Access, the most popular database
in the world! Since this News Group is dedicated to dealing with the issues
of the database application from the Microsoft Office suite, you may receive
quicker (and possibly correct!) answers by posting your question in the
Microsoft.Public.WindowsXP.setup_deployment News Groups.

Search your hard drive for the "other" Favorities directory and place your
files there. If you can't find it, search your Windows Registry for the
directory listed in this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders\Favorities

The following Registry key value should point to the same directory, but it
is likely using an environment variable for the path, such as
"%USERPROFILE%\Favorites" (which is okay):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders\Favorities

HTH.
