If I go to www.yahoo.com, then click on Favorites, then ADD to favorites then
click add. I get box with Name: Yahoo, Created in: Favorites. Then I get
Error: Unable to create 'Yahoo!": Unspecified Error. I can delete, modify or
rename any item in the favorites list though. Just can't add a new one? Any
ideas?

I have exactly the same problem !With me, this happens only when I try and
save a favourite to a sub-folder. If I save it to the root favourites
folder, then that seems to work, and I can move it afterwards.

Hi BobF,

Welcome to Vista Forums. arty:

You might check to see if Internet Explorer 7 has all of it's defaults
set to it. This will show you how.

Maybe an easier way is to right click the page and "Add to favourites"?
Always works for me.

Elsewhere on this forum are similar references to "unspecified error"
when "add to favorites" is chosen. In my case I used the "redirected
folder" feature to move my username to another disk, aparently somehow
messing up folder rights/permissions whatever such that IE couldn't
write to the "Favorites" folder. In spite of following the directions
here and at MSDN I still couldn't add to favorites. I gave up trying,
re-formatted the disk, re-installed Vista64, and IMMEDIATELY before
doing anything moved my user folder to the other disk and now I am able
to "add to favorites". I certainly got confused when I went from Start
- explore - navigate to C:\Users\username - folder - properties and
didn't see a location tab. Aparently the location tab is visible only
when the explorer is started from Start - username -folder -
properties. I was expecting "Redirected Folders" to have been
implemented at the file-system layer for all folders/files and thus
visible from any copy of explorer. How silly of me.
