Is this what you mean?
You cannot remove the Favorite Links from the navigation pane.
Hover your cursor over the top of the Folders section until you see the double arrow appear. Press and hold the left mouse button and drag the Folder pane to the top of the window. This will effectively cover the Favorite Links pane and should stay that way. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "StephMir" wrote in message ...

How to restore the links folder
I know that I'm three years late responding this, and that everybody out there must be using Windows 7 by now, but I think it pays to post a solution (or at least a recommendation).
Rahpi14, if you're still alive and interested in this issue, I think our problem is not having Windows in the default English language. As of me, spanish is my language, and so is my Vista. And I think I had exactly the same problem as you: the navigation pane was empty, dropping items on it didn't work, and "restoring" the default links didn't work either. I noticed that some folders in my language acted as some sort of "alias". For example, I could reach the same folder typing "C:\Users" or "C:\Usuarios" (users in spanish). So my Links folder, named "Favoritos" in spanish Vista was full of shortcuts, but they could'n show up. So I made a folder specifically named "Links" and it worked! In short, my advice is: create a folder named "Links" on your "Rapha?lle" folder, and use it instead of the the same level as your "Liens" one.

Hello everyone, Because of that horrible Norton Antivirus, i had to sent back my new PC (asus F5R) to the PC dealer, who reinstalled (forgive my english, i am french But when i got my PC for the second time, the favorite links had disappeared I have to precise that i ask them to put the Pictures, the Documents and the Music on D: (whereas these folders where on C:, previously). * The "Links" folder contains the usual shortcuts : Pictures, Music, etc... * I didn't try to delete the arrow on the icon of the shortcuts. I say this because i heard about a problem with favorite links, which could appear when you try this, and it deletes the "Is_Shortcut" Key in the register base. But i didn't do this, futhermore i checked the register a few days ago, and this key is here yet. * This morning, i uploaded an avatar on a forum (i don't know how you say in english... maybe a "discussion group" or something like that), so as you can imagine, the explorer openned for me to select the picture i wanted. And then, there was others favorite links, like "R??seau" (it should be something like Network in english) etc... the favorite links were not empty. How can i do to restore my favorite links ? I tried to do the "drag and drop" thing (glisser-d??poser as we say in french), but it didn't worked, and i also try to click on "restore the default favorite links" (or something like that in english), but still nothing. Thank you "d'avance" (french expression which mean something like "before you do it") On Sunday, August 26, 2007 3:04 PM Ronnie Vernon MVP wrote: Raphi14If your PC Dealer did not save the Favorites Links before they Raphi14 If your PC Dealer did not save the Favorites Links before they formatted the hard drive and then reinstalled Vista, you will not be able to recover those links. Formatting the hard drive completely deletes everything. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Raphi14" wrote in message ...

I wasn't talking about favorite links i had choosen (and i didn't add any favorite links the first time...) When they reinstalled Vista, the default favorite links should have been reinstalled too, shouldn't they ? For example, as i explained in my previous message, when i uploaded a picture yesterday and a window openned for me to choose it, i saw some favorite links... I forget to precise something yesterday : on the navigation panel, when i right click on the empty column, i have the choice between "restore default favorite links" (as i said, it didn't work), and "open the favorite links folder". When i click on it, nothing happens. So i think it doesn't find the folder with favorite links, but i have a "Links" folder with all the default links inside. So, any ideas to recover the default kinks ?

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. All of the folders that appear in the Favorites Links section of the Navigation Pane are shortcuts to folders or other objects. You can place a folder there by simply dragging and dropping the folder in the Favorite Links section. When you drag and drop a folder there a shortcut is created for the folder, you aren't actually moving the folder. All of these shortcuts are contained in the C:\Users\your username\Links folder. You can also use this folder to create shortcuts that will appear in the Favorite Links section. The default shortcuts a Documents Pictures Music Recently Changed Searches Public If you want to remove a shortcut from that list, you can right click the shortcut and select the "Remove Link" option. You can also remove one of the shortcuts by deleting it from the Links folder. Let me know if this answers your question. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Raphi14" wrote in message ...

You can add shortcuts to your Links folder. It is generally located at: %USERPROFILE%\Links for instance, mine would be C:\Users\Kody\Links Just create shortcuts in that folder, then close and re-open Explorer.

Hover your cursor over the top of the Folders section until you see the double arrow appear. Press and hold the left mouse button and drag the Folder pane to the top of the window. This will effectively cover the Favorite Links pane and should stay that way. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "StephMir" wrote in message ...
