Re: Internet Explorer can't find Favorites Folder - How to fix??

Pegasus:

Not only is the Folder in the location you've mentioned, the actual
short-cuts are also there. For the last week or so, I've minimized this
folder for access to favorites. I am however, unable to access them via the
Favorites Pull-down menu. The folder's attribute currently shows read only.

Any suggestions to fix this problem? And, thank you for responding. It is
appreciated!
