Guest Gandcp Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 When I add a web site to my, "Favorites", folder while using IE, some folders open, showing what I've placed there and some folders do not open. When I right-click on the folder, it shows the sites are there, but the folder itself won't open. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Guest Ron Badour Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Re: Favorite folder won't open Since no one answered, I suspect that the question has not been raised previously. When that occurs, an answer is often hard to come by :-( I tried to replicate what you say is happening and I cannot. What version of IE are you using? If IE6, could you list step by step what you are doing so I can try to set up the problem here? -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2007 "Gandcp" <Gandcp@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B81E543C-BB3A-4008-9084-12892DF260E0@microsoft.com... > Ron, > > I can't get a reply from the 'I.E.' newsgroup, do you or anyone else have > any suggestions?

Guest Gandcp Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Re: Favorite folder won't open Thank you Ron, I appreciate your help. I am using IE6. Prior to my reformatting my computer, the 'Favorite' windows worked fine. Now, I go to Favorites, open Organize and click on 'Create Folder' and type in a name for the folder. I then click, Okay. I open 'Organize' again, click on one of my Favorites and click on 'move to folder', which it does. I then add the rest of my favorite web sites and close. Later, when I click on the Favorites Folder, some will open and others won't. On the folders that do not open, if I right-click on the folder, I can see the sites are there, but the folder will not open. I delete the folder and relocate my favorite web sites. I can live with this, but it's kind of a pain, having to find and save my web sites all over. I have thought of downloading IE7, but have heard there are problems with the new version. Again, I appreciate your time and concern on this. Grant "Ron Badour" wrote: > Since no one answered, I suspect that the question has not been raised > previously.

Guest Ron Badour Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Re: Favorite folder won't open Grant, I cannot replicate it here so I guess I can't help. I have download IE7 three times (twice for the same computer) and it generated error messages when I tried to use it. I have it hidden in updates. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2007 "Gandcp" <Gandcp@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:CB32070F-39E3-4FE3-AD31-E6DD124DF529@microsoft.com... > Thank you Ron, I appreciate your help.
