As with other users your advice was clear and worked beautifully. I used Method 1, and as for Mr. G, it took all of about 15 seconds to complete the process. Many, many thanks!

Thanks, Method 2 worked for me also. I originally tried uninstalling and reinstalling IE8 with no luck, still got the error when adding Favourates. But after finding your site and trying Method 2 everything works perfeclly. Thanks again for this post !

I encountered this when I copied all my favorites from another PC via Windows Explorer. Instead of lowering the integrity level I exported all my favorites, close IE, then deleted all the favorites via Windows Explorer, then imported the favorites again. Now I can save new favorites without problems.

Here’s Method No. 3, and the easiest and simplest of all: Turn off the freakin’ User Account Control. Since I got a Vista computer almost a year ago I’ve tried to use it from time to time, and every time I’ve had to turn it off when it caused undesirable behavior of one kind or another. In this case, I turned it on a few days ago, and the first time I tried to add a Favorite this happened. Not willing to perform what looks like a fairly involved procedure I turned it off, and as soon as it restarted I was able to add Favorites normally. What a crock! I guess I should be grateful that Microsoft allows you to turn it off.
