Favorite folder won't open

[Guest Gandcp]

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.

This question is probably better asked in the IE newsgroup which is manned

by IE experts.

Ron,

 

I can't get a reply from the 'I.E.' newsgroup, do you or anyone else have

any suggestions? Thanks again.

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?

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.

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.
