I have Windows XP & IE7. I posted this first in the WinXP forum & was told

Hi,



Type



shell:favorites



in the IE Address bar... this will open a Windows Explorer Window at what

should be the same folder as your IE Favorites (Unless you are using XP and

IE6 and have sometime in the past moved your Favorites folder for IE to a

different location)



Have you done a disk cleanup yet or a disk defrag?

(Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools)



I saw a terrabyte external drive advertised for $150 today. Thats about the

same storage as 20 laptop computers.



Regards.

In my reply to your post in WinXP General suggesting that you post about IE

issues in this newsgroup, I also included the link

You might try reinstalling the Windows Script Engine to see if it resolves

your issue.



Windows Script 5.7 for Windows XP:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...25-D896-482E-A0D6-524E7E844D81&displaylang=en



Good luck,

I did not see that amongst all of the other links. Thank you; I'll check it

later today.

Thank you, Rob... I'll try that after I've gotten some sleep. I bought a

refurbished 1TB external drive from Overstock a few weeks ago for much less!

I appreciate the suggestions.

P.S. Yes, I've done regular disk cleanups & defrags.

Donald, thank you for your suggestion. I tried and got a response telling me

that what I have currently is a more current version of that one. Whether

that is an indication of part of the problem, I have no clue!



Thank you! Debbie

That response would imply that you have the latest version of the Windows

Script Engine(Version 5.7) for Windows XP already installed on your machine.



However, it's possible that one of the DLL file components of the Scripting

Engine has become Unregistered. Try running the "Fixit" at the following

site to re-register all the file component of the Scripting Engine.



Fixit:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949140



Or, you can do it manually by re-registering the following 3 file. Enter

each in the Run Box one at a time and click OK.



regsvr32 jscript.dll

regsvr32 wshom.ocx

regsvr32 scrrun.dll



I'm simply trying to rule out the Windows Scripting Engine as being the

source of your problem.



Good luck,



Donald Anadell

Donald!!!

You are my MVP!!!!! I've spent 3 hours just now trouble shooting this;

somewhere along the way I lost my IE browser so I've got that set up again.

HOWEVER, the magic fix was your suggestion to re-register the 3 files. The

page opened and said it was loading; I just held my breath, waiting for the

script error message... then there they were! All of my favorites files!!!



I can't tell you how much I appreciate your time, patience and support... I

am out-of-this-world grateful!!!



I also appreciate the other responses and I did try all of those suggestions

without success ~ however, I have learned a tremendous amount of new

information and have added all of the recommended resources to my - you

guessed it! - my Favorites list!!!



Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sincerely,

Debbie

Why did you have to re-register those three files at all?

Clearly, I'm no techie so the answer will have to come from elsewhere.

Thank you for your input.

Now that you've had success there, I hope you'll also take the time to learn

to backup your important data such as your My Favorites folder, e-mail and

whatever else you might not be able to replace when you lose it. For data,

it can be as simple as using the copy command/s all the way up to imaging

programs which will protect the entire computer.



HTH,

Newsgroups are great places to get assistance.

But always verify important information with

other sources to be certain you have a clear

understanding of it and that it is accurate.

 

[doxideb]

Thank you, Twayne... that's next on my agenda since I have the new 1TB

external hard drive standing by. I'm always learning... some lessons are

easier than others!
