Personal Folder question

[losgood]

I was wondering how to fix this. When setting up Windows, I mistakenly added my backup drive multiple times to my personal folder and I don't know how to fix it. I use the E drive for backup, and the F drive for all my libraries. I don't think it's hurting anything, but it bugs me. What can i do? Here's a screenshot so you can see what I mean.

Favorites are simply the bookmark menu used by IE. Right-click and use the DELETE option; just delete two of the three. Confirm Yes delete the shortcut.

For libraries it is "Remove location from library" rather than delete.

It doesn't give me the "delete" option in the drop down menu...

Could you go into Windows explorer and put
%homepath%\Favorites
into the path bar.

Is the E: drive listed there 3 times? And can you right-click and delete?

Could you paste a screenshot from that view?

No drives listed there, just folders. The only time I see them is when I go into my system folder. Here's a screenshot of my favorites folder. It got put into my backup drive, oddly enough. I have all my libraries in the F drive and stuff gets put into the E drive.

OK I was a bit confused because Favorites was highlighted in the left pane. So drop the Favorites and just use %homepath% and see if the E:backup drives are there and can you delete them when listed that way.

It sounds like your library pointers may have gotten quite FUBARed when you moved them from the C: drive. When you are in %homepath% check the properties of each library type and verify the location tab says F: not E:

Nope, E drive is not listed and all my libraries are on F. Weird...

I don't know what to tell you. Personally I deleted the Favorites section completely from Windows Explorer. As I said I suspect it's something to do with you having moved folders. You might try moving your person folder again and see what happens or you might try a complete reinstall but I have no more ideas, sorry.

No problem...it's not really causing any problems, I was just wondering WTF happened more than anything. Thanks for giving it a shot.
