    Windows XP Home Edition. Somehow a folder titled 'Surveys' which was always on my Favorites list menu doesn't appear anymore. I did not delete it and it appears when I go to search.

    I would like to get it back on my Favorites list because I need the links that it contains. However, I do not know how to do this. When I try to add Favorites to the Send To folder it says that the folder Favorites cannot be found. Short of revisiting and bookmarking the sites and then creating a new folder in favorites and moving the bookmarks to that folder, is there an easier and quicker way?

    Thanks for any help.

    Is it possible that you have dragged it into another folder?

    In Explorer, navigate to Docs & Settings\your username\Favorites and explore each of the sub-folders.

    Thanks for your reply. Did that and it does not appear in any other folders under Favorites.

    Looks like I will have to do it the hard way unless someone has another idea.

    You said it appears when you search, where does it appear when you search, i.e. what is the full pathname?

    Success! I was not creating the short-cut in Send To folder properly. I was just typing Favorites in the box rather than high lighting the actual folder.

    Dah!
