Favorites does not seem to work

[DLG]

I have installed a version of ie5 from my Quicken2000 CD. When I press the favorites icon I am unable to save any favorites. The frame shows up on the left but does not allow entries.<br>
Using Win95. Also the favorites folder is not accessible from WinExplorer.<br>
Any ideas? Reinstall? I have tried the repair from control panel and did not correct the problem. <br>
Thanks<br>

This is just a guess mind you.<br>
Internet Explore was put on the Quicken CD to provide help for Quicken.<br>
I suspect that for that reason the favorites and or other features were left out of that version on the CD.<br>
There is a set of Tools Microsoft provides for customizing Internet Explorer and thats probably what Intuit did with the the copy on that CD.<br>
<br>
So you need a Regualar version of IE 5 from somewhere else.<br>

You can try to rename the favorites folder, it is possibly corrupted.Boot to safe mode command prompt only and changeto the windows directory.Rename it from favori~1 to oldfav.When you reboot the favorites will be recreated.There is a kb article on this , I just dont know the article #.

I would definitely try downloading a full version of MSIE from Microsoft's page.<br>
<br>
Just as a side note... I had installed a version of Netscape off my network, and the Bookmarks tab does not save my added bookmarks. I tried uninstalling and then downloading from Netscape's website, with still no luck. I'm not sure, I assume there's something in there that hasn't been deleted yet... so make sure you do a full, clean uninstall (which is hard to do with IE- good luck).<br>
<br>
one last thing... might Tweak UI help? <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=
