Make sure your favorites folder is not set to Read only in its properties.

i finally figured out how to get to propertys. the only thing checked is system and its greyed out. i tried the other options one at a time and then all combos no change in results. also still losing user name recognition after shut down. thanks barry

For the cookie thing, go to tools/internet options, click the security tab and if the default leval button is not "greyed out", click it. Then go to the top of this web page to "preferences" and choose the option for "allow your user name and password to be stored for one year". You will have to re-enter your name and password your next post, but after that it should do it by it'self.
As for the favorite thing, I don't know what you mean by "recall". Can you see links in the favorite folder, or in the favorite menu?

after clicking favorites,ok then click favorites again the drop down box only has add to favorites, organize favorites. if i click add i get name already exists after i click ok again. im going to try your other recommendation now ill let you know how it turns out.thanks, barry did as you said no change.if life was easy it wouldnt be fun b.

i have tried to find info on this problem in all of the books i have and in the local library to no avail.where do i look now? barry

Maybe it's a longshot, but have you tried to repair I/E5? Control Panel/Add&Remove Programs/Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and Tools. Click "Add/Remove" and you'll get a box with the option of repairing I/E5. It's worth a try.

i just tried to import favotites from my other comp. wizard says it worked but no display when i click fav. barry

[Dave_H]

If you use Windows explorer, and go to
C/Windows/Favorites, can you see folders and links in there?
The main folder should only have a greyed out check in the "system" box, all the sub-folders should have no attributes selected.

Sorry, Barry and Daveleau,
I somehow missed that you already checked that. Here are a couple of K.B. articles I did find, hope it helps. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q167/1/24.ASP http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q218/8/41.ASP
