The problem is typically due to a problem with the registry. As long as you are careful, you can edit it.

  • Select start -> run

  • Enter regedit

  • Next, browse through to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\
  • Double click on Favorites and update the data field. If your machine is running the CS image, you'll want it to be something like: z:\profile_\Favorites assuming that z: is the drive mapped to your home directory. If it is a standalone install, it's likely to be something like: c:\PROFILES\USERID\Favorites

  • Next, you'll also need to update: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\ If your machine is running the CS image, you'll want the data field for Favorites to be something like: z:\profile_\Favorites For a standalone machine, it'll be something like: %userprofile%\Favorites
