Worked a dream eventually, but you have to make sure the spacing is correct (trial and error) and that the file name is case sensitive - also use the correct spelling - "Favourites" in UK.
Why on earth have microsoft not fixed this - there is not even a mention on the vista support Site!!!

Another method is from IE export Favorites, delete all Favorites, then import back in.

I surely hope that this has been catalogued as a bug, and will be dealt with via some patch in some SP, has it?

This works very well for me in Windows Vista Home Premium. It seems somehow my IE7 folder got set to this protected position. I could got save any new favorite websites, user/<name>/favorites folder.
Thanks a billion!

One question, how do you brouse to the folder from the command promt?
----------------------------------------------------------
Editor's note: Type "cd /d <path:foldername>" in the Command Prompt to switch to the favorites folder. Where the <path:foldername> placeholder above, represents the location of the folder which contains the Favorites folder.

I found an alternate solution to the same issues. I tried right clicking on the favorites folder, properties, security tab, advanced, onwer tab, edit, select yourself or your group, checkmark replace owner on all subdirectories, apply, ok, ok, ok, ok.
Fixed it for me?

Neither changing the integrity level not the folders onership properties worked for me with Vista Home Ultimate. Any other ideas?

Changing ownership worked as far as getting the favorites back. It created a new folder and copied the favorites into it. That folder is inside the original folder. Now when I go to favorites I see New Folder - click on that and I see favorites. At least it's back!

Thanks for the solution. It worked perfectly. The only problem I had was trying to recall how to get out of the command prompt. I think it has been 20 years since I last used it.

Great, thanks, worked for me too! Too bad MS didn't implement this simple step in the "Move folder" action...
