But that doesn't prevent adding the bookmarks.

It does when you go to "Add to Favorites" and there is no "Links" folder to add to. > But that doesn't prevent adding the bookmarks. > > Bob wrote: > >> The folder is hidden to IE also >> >> Bob I <birelan@yahoo.com> wrote in news:ubO1ftbqKHA.5736 >> @TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl: >> >>>Open Internet Explorer, and add them there. > >>> >>>>I have 1 hidden folder.

Sounds like the location doesn't exist yet. Right click in the Menu area, and select Links.

If you read my origional post. You will see it is visible from the command prompt. (You know Run, cmd, Dir) I can see the directory & all the files in it. It is a windows problem!

What version of IE? IE8 uses the Favorites Bar folder instead of Links. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.com/index.htm On Tue, 09 Feb 2010 12:25:14 -0800, in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general, Bob <Bob@somewhere.com> wrote: >It does when you go to "Add to Favorites" and there is no "Links" folder to >add to. >> But that doesn't prevent adding the bookmarks. >> >> Bob wrote: >> >>> The folder is hidden to IE also >>> >>> Bob I <birelan@yahoo.com> wrote in news:ubO1ftbqKHA.5736 >>> @TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl: >>> >>>>Open Internet Explorer, and add them there. >> >>>> >>>>>I have 1 hidden folder.

Thank you, but it is unchecked. The reason I want this, is because I use Links from the toolbars. I use Fifefox, not IE but I think this folder became hidden after one of the IE updates, which I should probably have ignored.

I do not know if it is the exact same problem but it looks similar to what happened on my computer. The hidden temporary folder in my account somehow became a system folder. I tried changing it back to hidden in the sys admin account but couldn't do it. I never found a solution for it.
