A quick note about Favorites in IE7 - lost system attributes and problems with the properties windows

A couple of things.

First, if you right click a Favorite via the traditional menu bar (not the Favorites Centre) and select properties, the properties window will appear behind IE7.  To avoid the problem, right click a Favorite in the Favorites Centre and select properties.

Second, if you cannot see your Favorites in the Organise Favorites window in IE7, it may be that the folders have lost their system attribute.  This can be fixed by opening a CMD window and running the following command (edited to suit your installation environment):

ATTRIB -S C:\Documents and Settings\username\Favorites /S /D

Some have gone the whole hog and run this command - it does not seem to do any harm, apart from throwing an error about not being able to set the attribute on a file or two:

ATTRIB -S C:\Documents and Settings\username\Favorites\*.* /S /D

Dear madam/sir,

I find it annoying when the favourites

properties window of the Menu bar each time appear behind IE7, as I prefer to work with the Menu bar.

Hopefully this bug will be fixed soon.

I would like to receive an update, but the registration is disabled. If it helps I now

leave my email address behind: nuha@hccnet.nl

Thank you.

Nuha,

Holland.

Have just noticed something!!! Running WinXP SP2 with all updates, + IE7, I go to a website save it to my favourites, when I check it is not there, so I click on add to favourites again, it gives me the nag that it already exists, would I like to overwrite which I click yes, and would you believe it...............................it's still not there.

Thought I would create a new folder, I cannot find that either WHAT IS GOING ON, all help gratefully received and acted upon

# re: Lost Favorites in IE7 also can't open lists in IE 7

Not only lost all links to my favorites but I now can't open lists on the net. IE 7 just says "Popup blocked to enable this item click here" needless to say, nothing happens when I do click. This is more annoying than it may seem, as I can no longer change or select ANY options in any lists on the web.

Any ?help?

(By the way, tried the SYS files from DOS, no different).
