Organize the Favorites of EXPLORER WINDOWS XP gives a blank window / vacuum. Question of IE8?

I work at a new installation of xp sp3 - fully up-to-date as at January 19, 2010.  With the latest fixes for IE8.

Normally, I do an extensive use of the favorite to speed up browsing on the wide and deep directory on my local machine and network structures.

But now, the link to organize Favorites for windows Explorer gives a completely empty window / vacuum. The only action is to close.

Anyone got any ideas for a fix?

Or - a better alternative to the use of the Favorites for quick navigation?

BTW - I have to say that I can get to Organize Favorites in IE8. But as I only really use Favorites within windows Explorer and rarely use IE for anything, whether is not very useful to me.

Install the hotfix that is described by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972582 worked for me!

    Tommy,

    You've done a good job answering my question.  Somehow, and I don't know how I did it I accidentally erased all the favourites I had accumulated for quite some time.  I have not found these missing Favorites in the trash that is where I would have expected to have. But that's another story and not a good thing.  I have so appreciated your efforts and I hope at some point I can get these favorites - wherever they are now.

    Sincerely,

  • I try to import the Favorites to explore, but the import option is not available on the file menu,

    I found an article on importing the Favorites of Explorer. She said press Alt, (which I did, but could not see everything that happens) and then the menut file, click Import. However, the selection of import is not available.

    You are not running in incognito mode are you?

    Try to do this way, IMO, it works better together.

    In Internet Explorer:

    File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file

    then in Firefox:

    Bookmarks > show all bookmarks-> import and backup - import HTML... = HTML file

  • PHANTON Drive; When I try to open the my computer Explorer window is white and I get a message that I need to format the drive F.

    Hello

    I have a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  The HARD drive is configured to have a small partition for reserved system, Partition C for the system and the Partiton E for my files.  D drive is the DVD ROM Drive.

    Very occasionally when I try to open the my computer Explorer window is white and I get a message that I need to format the drive F.  I did not have a permanent Drive F and when this happened had no other connected devices.

    Drive F is often used, as are other drive letters, by various devices from time to time, such as external hard drives, Flash, my TomTom SatNav players, camera, readers of cards etc.

    Can someone explain why this happens and if I can do something to stop what is happening in the future?

    Hi all

    I deleted all the top left of my Windows Explorer Favorites and now wants to drag folders there.

    Hi Mark

    This file you are trying to add to your Favorites?

    The home folder for Windows Explorer Favorites is C:\Users\your name\Links.

    Make sure that the folder still exists. If it is missing, open the Trash to see if it has been deleted. If it is there, select this folder and click file/restore.

    If she is still there, go to the Favorites in the top Pane of Navigation, click right-click on Favorites and select restore favorite links .

    If drag - déposer still does not work, Open a folder you want to Add to your Favorites. With the file open, click right-click on Favorites , and then select the location to add to Favorites.

    It work?

    Thank you for using Windows 7

  • Accidentally deleted the "Favorites" link in Windows Explorer

    I accidentally deleted the "Favorites" link in the Windows Explorer (should not be confused with the Favorites of IE).  It's the shortcuts in the upper left corner of Windows Explorer that will take you to a place in Explorer - a shortcut to a folder.  I tried right click then 'Restore favorite links' as well as the addition of the 'Links' to C:\users\Username\ folder.  None of this works.  If I try to drag and drop a folder in the Favorites, it has a red circle with a slash do not allow me to do.  I have Win 7-64 bit.  I prefer not to do a system restore, as happened two weeks ago and I don't want to spoil the other changes that have taken place since then.  Any help would be so appreciated.

    Try this information to restore the links folder.  It is manual or automated instructions on this page:

  • I had to do a destructive recovery. Try to reinstall the bookmarks but the 8.0 new OS I installed does not ORGANIZE the FAVORITES so I can't import the. JSON file.

    I'm MISSING 'To ORGANIZE the BOOKMARKS' AND 'LIBRARY' IN 8.0, so I am obviously unable to follow the instructions given. I have Windows XP, not that it is important. I have the. JSON file stored in a hard disk external. Every website I've seen so far says to go to favorite bookmarks / organise and import from there, but there is NO organize bookmarks that I found in 8.0 so I have no idea how to do to import this file to install my old favorites.

    In addition, I don't have whatever it is labelled library either. AND I don't have any Add - ons that can be a problem.

    Organize bookmarks was renamed to display all bookmarks in the version of Firefox 4.0.

    Bookmarks > show all bookmarks or {Ctrl + Shift + B}

    BTW, you will need to restore this backup file JSON, import the bookmarks HTML files that have been exported from a web browser.

  • Firefox will not import all of the favorite Internet explore

    All my favorites Internet Explore will not transfer on Firefox. I already tried all of the suggestions:

    • import from internet explore
    • Export Favorites to internet explore then import into firefox

    Only half of my favorites are passed to firefox. Very frustrating.

    If there are problems with importing IE bookmarks in Firefox, then export favorites in Internet Explorer to a HTML file and import this file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

    If you don't have the menu bar in Internet Explorer, and then right-click on the toolbar above to activate the menu bar.

    • Export Favorites in Internet Explorer to a file (bookmarks.html) HTML:
      File > import and export
    • Import HTML file in Firefox:
      Bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > import bookmarks HTML

  • I've updated to firefox 18.0 and all of a sudden all my favorites and Explorer windows of the bar are messy. How can I fix it?

    Basically any time I open one of the windows at the top of my firefox as "bookmarks", the real firefox window where my navigation is duplicated in my bookmarks menu. This only started happening immediately after installation of version 18.0. I tried to update my graphic plug-ins, as well as UN-installing all previous Firefox, including the current and re-mounted versions. No f this solved the problem. I have included a picture of what is happening on my browser

  • I need to recover the Favorites after a Windows system restore.

    After doing a restore of windows on Windows 7 Pro, I have only the default bookmarks on my view your bookmarks"" button. In a backup of the system a few months ago, I got the files and folder Appdata Firefox Profiles. I tried to replace the new profiles of 'empty' to the former, but without success - I still have only the default bookmarks. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Note what to do a system restore will probably replace the profiles.ini file and all the profiles that are made after the date of restoration will not appear or be accessible through the Profile Manager.

    If profiles are still there, then you can use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and choose the location of an existing profile (choose a folder) of re - save profile.

    The same thing happened to me! This problem is probabily caused by Acer
    eDataSecurity Management. This software MUST be installed (but does not
    to be initialized or setup) so that my solution work. Open an Explorer
    window, e.g. 'computer '. Right-click on an empty spot in the menu bar. You
    should see 'Acer eDataSecurity Management' is checked. Uncheck it. Now the
    menu bar should appear and disappear with the support of the [Alt] key.

  • The Favorites went in the download window Finder?

    Hello

    I do a lot of photo editing and saving the photos, etc. And I noticed that yesterday trying to save a picture and the pop than the 'Favorites' part Finder Windows is gone.

    This also happens when I'm on Safari and try to download something, too. However, if I open a window in the Finder itself, they show. It's hard to explain, so here are a few screenshots...

    The Finder of normal window (note with desktop, Applications, downloads, Favorites etc.):

    Try to browse/save or load the window (it even happened here you try to download these screenshots!):

    Anyone know what's happening offshore and how to recover? It was fine yesterday, and then last night just changed by itself. I'm puzzled!

    Thanks in advance!

    Lisa.

    Bookmarks can be hidden or shown.

    Launch the Finder in the Dock.

    Move the mouse pointer the very right of the 'favourites' and hover.

    The option 'Show' should appear.

    Finder > Preferences > sidebar

    Make sure that the items under Favorites are enabled.
