Favorites window is blank in IE7 64 bit

[Guest bconman]

I have a new hp laptop running 64 bit Vista and 64 bit Explorer 7. My

favorites are gone when I click to view them. Adding new favorites seems to

work, but then when you open favorites, once again they are gone. I still

have a working history. If I go and open C drive and find my favorites file

and open it , everything is there. They just dont show up in my favorites

window any longer. Where is the favorites file suppose to be located? Maybe

mine got moved and is no longer linked to my favorites button. I tried to

download and reinstall IE7 but then it stops and tells me I must login as the

administrator before it will setup program. I AM the administrator but dont

use a password because I am the only one that uses my laptop. So that is

another problem in itself. I have run out of ideas. Help!! Im not a big

fan of Vista any longer.

Your favourites are in C:\Users\(username)\Favorites

That is where mine is located. But explorer is not seeing it.

Use the default 32-bit Explorer and see if you can see them OK.

I have see some drag an old Favourites folder into the new Favourites folder

and get your results. Make sure you have shortcut icons in your favourites

folder. Open your folder, open an IE browse to a page you want in your

favourites, drag the little symbol from the front of the address into your

favourites folder. See if it show up in the dropdown. You may have to

clear the favourites folder completely and start from scratch.
