Favorites Folder Not ShowingUp in Explorer
A recent folder I created in my IE Favorites is showing up in
IE but not in Explorer.

Any ideas here??

Hi,

Are you looking here:

C:\Users\<user>\Favorites

and here:

C:\Users\Public\Favorites

?

Re: Favorites Folder Not ShowingUp in Explorer
I should have explained better.
I have moved (set location) my Favorites folder
under a data folder that I use to store my data.
The new folder(s) show up when I navigate to the
folder here. But, I've added the Favorites folder to
the 'Favorite Links' pane in Explorer and that's where
it doesn't show these folder(s)

I can vaguely recall having a similar issue. Have a look at the permissions
for the folder. I think at the moment it only has rights for IE in
Protected Mode, and not your user account. Either use the Security tab or
the ICACLS command.
