160440 2003-07-16 21:28:00 What OS?
What do you mean not working? It won't let you or has an error message when you try?
They are stored in a directory you can play with from windows explorer, you could try that. It's location varies depending upon your OS, but could be in:
c:\documents and settings\username\favorites
if you use XP.

160441 2003-07-16 21:40:00 Thanks Robo,Looked in there could not find fix.
XP is the system I have.
When I go to organise favourites,if I click on any of the boxes ,say create folder it is dead as are the rest.
There a few obscure things not working,I may have been a bit over zealous with register,I can feel a rebuild coming on.

Try repairing IE & see if that help

or try creating a new account & see if you have the same problem

160444 2003-07-17 02:27:00 oh dear Thomas.

what a wicked web we weave when we touch things isnt it? (computers im talking about) :8}

i feel computers have too many tempting things to fiddle with, and we just cant resist at times.

still think a good motto is if it aint broke dont fix it or touch it....

no offence T just all of us seem to be having gripes lately and theirs not much good news about anywhere lately, in any job, industry or part of world.


have a nice day, :)

Cheer up,it all comes right in the end,my compu and the world;)

160446 2003-07-17 02:55:00 At this point I usually trot out my homily about making ghost images of drives before the fiddling starts, so that you can have all the fun you like then restore your OS & programs to your preferred state while having a quick restorative yourself.

But there's probably not much point in my going there again. :|

[b][pre]It's worth considering though, if you
like to play, as it takes away all the stress.
Makes computing fun again.:D

160447 2003-07-17 03:11:00 I would indeed have taken your advice re ghost ,except I have managed to do to that what I have done to the rest so disaster rules at mo.
Sorry to sayI have a bit of an obsession about not having stuff on compu that is not needed,I of course am not qualified to do this and am now paying the price.Hopefully I will learn,by the time I do I will have shuffled off this mortal coil.;)
