Finding the Favorites folder.
This folder can get tricky. Some favorites
cantain characters that XP has a hard time dealing with. You might
have problems moving or deleting some links contained in the Favorites
folder.
- Click on the Start
button.
- Take note of 2 things. 1) D:\ is the drive
letter where my profile is located. 2) Administrator
is the profile I am currently using. The drive or username might
be different for you. You need the directory information from
your computer to find the data contained in your profile.
- Write it down & type exit. Press the Enter
key.
- Go back & left-click on the Start
button & left-click on Run...
- Type the drive letter you found earlier. I would type d:\
to open a new window. (Shown below)
- Double left-click on Documents and Settings.
- Double left-click on the username you found earlier. In my case
Administrator.
- Double left-click to open folder. Sorting your Internet Explorer
favorites is much easier from here. You can create folders and
move links around. I find it's best to zip this folder before
backing it up though. It helps keep the file names intact when
burning to CD or DVD.
