Favorites not displayed in favorites menu

Hi

I have a Vista machine that does not display any favourites in the IE
favourites menu. However, they are displayed in the favourites folder when
using Windows Explorer. This was happening in IE7 and I had hoped that
installing IE8 it would correct the problem. No such luck.

Any help would be most appreciated

Regards

Hi,
Is the Favorites folder in its default location at
Local Disk(C)\Users\your account name\Favorites ?

Great. Moving the folder was a little easier that the registry edit which
would have allowed IE to "see" the folder.
