19, 2008 by codeonly I have used IE 8 beta 2 for sometime, recently, this pop up window stop me to create any bookmark on IE, I was troubled and confused for sometime without a solution. I stuck with this error for few weeks and give up the page I want to bookmark, until one day, I decided no longer to take this IE error any longer. Open a new Google's Chrome browser to save my bookmark with. Sadly, this can't be called a solution. or a "workaround"… One day, out of blue, I find a blog posted by "MBC Computer Solution Ltd." located in Toronto, Canada, which offered solution for similar problem for IE 7. So I http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie8-windows_other/favorites-folder-receiving-error-unable-to-create/04af985d-3270-485d-a09e-9a931691c5a6 think I should give a try on IE 8.

By default, this is c:\users\Username. In my case: cd /d c:\users\steven Run icacls: icacls Favorites /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low ----------------------------------------- Doesn't work for me again. I got message saying "process failed. can't find file." Yes, cause I moved the fav fold to another partition E drive, along with Documents folder and others…( was stupid enough to think 20 GB in C will give enough space for Vista :( some learning experience from Vista….) go to my E drive typed the same command, still not working. !@#!@!@!!! last resort, Restore Default Location for the Fav folder.
