Where's the "Favorites" folder in Win XP

**Fingers** · February 22nd, 2002, 01:38 PM

I'm probably going to double my post count in about the first 2 weeks of using Win XP, but I guess I have to learn it sometime?

The question is in the header... MS removed the "Favorites" folder from the Start Menu in XP and I want it back where it's supposed to be .... right between "Programs" and "Documents".

ok the favorites folder is located @ %USERPROFILE%\favorites

and if you want it in the start menu right click on the task bar.. select properties, then the start menu tab. Click on customize... Click on the advanced tab.. And fill check boxes to your hearts content

lol... that was much easier than I thought

I was trying to drag it there via "Customize>Advanced" and I could only add it to the top of the start menu, not the bottom.

Stay tuned ... there will be more stupid questions coming soon

XP is a breeze man, you will have it mastered in no-time.

)in Sam's that had xp on it and I noticed they left "My Computer" off the desktop.

Don't worry, they'll be volumes of info about XP till I get through changing and tweaking it to look like MS should have made it look like in the 1st place
