    Hi,
    Click favorites
    Click Add to favorites
    Add to favorites bar.
    Even after trying to change it it still reverts to "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Google.mht "
    I don't get it.
    Thanks,
    Lewis

    all icons

    Hi,
    Whenever I click an icon on the favorites bar it just goes to "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Google.mht "
    Even when I type the address I want.
    Should I reinstall IE8?
    Lewis

    I've never seen this behavior. It looks like it is saving as a web page, not a favorite. Try resetting IE: from IE's Menu, choose Tools > Internet Options and select the Advanced tab. Click the button labeled Reset near the bottom of that tab.

    Hi Arie,
    I have tried that and I'll let you know how it works.
    Now I am trying to get a router problem on Vista solved.

    Thanks,
    Lewis
