Favorites not working

[chambece]

I've just noticed that my Favorites on IE aren't working....

I can add something to my Faves, and can see it if I try and organise them, but when I click on them I only get a links folder, which is empty. I've tried moving a link into there, but it still doesn't seem to do it....

Any ideas

If you right click any of your favs and select properties does it show a valid web address?

Well, it does from the organise faves menu, but there are no things under the standard place. There also seems to be the correct files in Documents And Settings

If "no things under the standard place" that would seem to be why favourites aren't working, just what has happened I don't know. But you seem to be saying that settings are ok in documents and settings, so the situation must be recoverable. Try Tweakui Power tool from MS, this lets you specify location of favourites folder, assume that it must be pointing to a corrupt location at the mo.
