    I use an editing software that would usually render videos to my documents folder but now my videos won't show up anymore unless I search for them under This PC, which also takes a few minutes to load. :

  3. Exporting favorites from IE 11 to bookmark file

    Found it!

    Please follow the steps:


    • Open the desktop, then tap or click the Internet Explorer icon on the taskbar.

    • Tap or click the Favourites star.

    • From the drop-down menu, tap or click Import and export.

    • In the Import/Export Settings dialogue box, select Export to a file, then tap or click
      Next.

    • Select Favourites (and any other settings) that you'd like to export, then tap or click
      Next.

    • Select the folders of favourites that you want to export, then tap or click
      Next. Internet Explorer automatically exports all subfolders.

    • By default, Internet Explorer creates a file called bookmark.htm in your Documents folder. If you want to store the exported favourites to somewhere other than Documents (such as a disc or a flash drive), tap or click
      Browse, then select a different drive. Tap or click Save.

    • Click Finish.
    Hope it helps.

    cannot save document to document file.

    Hi Maxine,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you are unable to save documents. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

    I would appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.

    • Did you sign in as administrator?
    • Is the issue specific saving the file to this particular folder?
    • What type of file are you trying to save?
    • Did you install any third party security application?
    This issue may arise when the user account that you have logged does not have Administrature previlage.

    I suggest you to follow the steps provided below and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    1) Press Windows + r and type netplwiz, press Enter.

    2) Check for the Administrator account.

    3) Log Off from your computer and Login through Administrator account.

    4) Again press Windows + r and type netplwiz, press Enter.

    5) Select your Microsoft Account and click on Properties button.

    6) Click on Group Membership tab and check on Administrator.
