Running Win7. Running Explorer 8. Suddenly a few months ago the Favorites stopped working. It says "unable to create XXX. Unspecified error." There were two answers that I uncovered having to do with 1) the shell and 2) the integrity level. Could not get either fix to worklHere is something I found in Microsoft forum having to do with the Shell in IE8. Did not fix the problem:"Check your computer's Shell:Favorites location.

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 https://codeonly.wordpress.com/2008/11/19/ie-8-unable-to-create-bookmark-unspecified-error-occur/ 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 internet explorer in Toronto, Canada, which offered solution for similar problem for IE 7.

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. To do that: 1. Double click your folder named with your [user name] in desktop, mine is "danny". 2. right click on "Favorites" icon on the right side panel. Select "Properties". which brings up "Favo
