    Favorites Folder


    Hello, one and all. I enthusiastically embraced Windows 10 and expected Windows 10 to be everything Windows 7 is and more. What I found was a massive shuffle of applications with some disappearing and new ones appearing. That's progress I guess. One of my favorite tricks on Windows 7 was to go to Computer/Local Disc (CFavorites Folder :)/Users/Administrator/Favorites and copy the contents and place them on a thumb drive. That way I could keep my favorites off my PC and use the thumb drive on any other PC. And it worked flawlessly. However, with Windows 10, I open This PC/Windows (CFavorites Folder :)/Users but there is no Administrator folder. I cannot access Favorites. Can anyone please tell me where Favorites is located? I mean the folder that has all the URL. Thank you.

    :)

    Folder in Favorites lost


    Had a folder in IE favorites named xxxxx favorites with many items in it. Don't know what I may have done but it is gone from the list. When I try to create a new folder it tells me that there is one already there, but it is not. Any suggestion where I might find the lost folder or how to restore it.

  3. favorite folders there, sites are gone

    Hi,

    To assist you better, I would like to know whether you are referring to the favorites folder created within the Internet Explorer.

    If you lose the favorites saved within the Internet Explorer
    and as an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to check if you are able to locate the favorites that has been missing from Internet Explorer.

    • Click This PC.
    • Type %userprofile% into the Address bar
    • Press Enter on your keyboard
    • Click on Favorites and check if the missing favorites are there.
    If you are able to locate the missing favorites, I suggest you to create a backup and try to import the favorites.

    Refer to the section Import Favorites, from the below article.

    Hope the information provided was helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist you.

    Thank you.

  4. Favorites Folder

    I am not able to open favorites folder or sub folders under it in EDGE browser

    Hi Rodney,

    We appreciate you for being a part of Windows 10.

    Before proceeding, we need more information to help you better.


    • Did you checked whether you are able to see the favorite’s folder under your users?

    • Are you able to see the Favorites bar on EDGE browser?

    • Does the EDGE browser close/crashes only when you try to open the favorites folder or any other scenarios?
    Note: By default the favorite’s folder will be present under your user’s folder. Follow the below steps to check if you are able to view the favorites.

    • Open the ‘C’ drive on your computer. If your OS is installed on any other drive, open that one.
    • Under the ‘Users’ section, locate the name of your system’s main admin account and open its folder.
    • Locate the folder named ‘favorites’ and open it. In short, the path for this folder becomes as follows (assuming the system drive to be ‘C’ and your account name to be ‘Hamza’).

      C:\users\hamza\favorites\
    I suggest you to refer to the section Import favorites in the below link on how to Import favorites in Internet Explorer.

    Use favorites to save websites you like

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/add-view-organize-favorites#ie=ie-11

    Note: You may try to browse to the favorite’s folder as suggested in the above steps if the favorite’s folder is present.

    Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

    Thank you.
