canman 0 Posted October 4, 2004 When I booted my win2k system today and opened I/E the only favorite I had was "LINKS". I looked in all folders and found a Giant bug had created a Favorite folder in my C:\Winnt folder. I went into the regisrty and found in Users/Software/microsoft/windows/current version/explorer/ shell folders that the favorites has changed to C:\winnt\Favorites. When I deleted this and typed in the correct path it will recreate itself every time I boot up. I have tried Hijack, Spybot,Ad-Aware, Spy Doctor, and Spy Sweeper. Nothing helps. I did get it to stop redirecting the favorites one time but now in the C"\ root I get a %USERPROFILE%\ self generated folder on bootup and it has the same results. The only favorite in I/E is Links. All my favorites are in Documents and settings. I don't have any eyes or brains left in trying to correct this one. HELP!! Share this post Link to post
