IE7 Favorites
I accidently moved rather than copied IE7 favorites to an external hard
drive. When I copied the favorites back to the correct location (Documents and Settings/<user name>/Favorites, IE7 still goes to the external hard drive location for Favorites. Clicking on Favorites/Properties in IE7 verifies that IE7 is looking in the external hard drive. How do I move the IE7 Favorites directory pointer back to Documents and Settings/<user>/Favorites on C: ?
