I know that I can move my profile's folders (Documents, Images, Music
etc) where I want them to by right click Properties Location Move.
Well, I accidentally moved the Favorites folder from my profile to the
root folder of D: and not to D:\Favorites (a folder I had created for
that reason).
Is there a way to move them back to the place I want (D:\Favorites)?

Hello Geotso,

You can use Method Two (steps 2 to 6) in the tutorial below to change
the location to what you wanted it to be in the registry to fix it.

However, changing the default location of the "C:\Users\(User
Name)\Favorites" folder will usually cause Favorites in IE7 to no longer
work.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi geotso,

You'll have to fix the "Favorites" shell folder path in the registry. See
"Method 2" in this article.

Ok. Fixed.
The only thing, I had to reboot twice, after registry tweak and after
folder renaming.
Thanks

guess what: It does work!
I exported Favorites before the fix, gave full control permissions to
the new Favorites folder and imported them back after it.
Thanks again
