Geeze... I've been fighting this non-working Favorites Menu thing in
Vista/IE7 for a long while. Today, on a whim, I decided to turn UAC off,
just to see what happened with the Favorites Menu. The Favorites Menu WORKS
with UAC turned off. I turned it back on and they ceased to work again. Bug?
JFTR, this is with Admin privileges.

While UAC is on, there is no warning or prompting, they just don't work. I
prefer running with UAC on. Can anyone suggest a fix/workaround?

Windows XP Pro would be a good fix.

I should have said Personalized Favorites. Sorry. It' the Personalized
favorites I was referring to.

It seems that the personalized favorites function is non functional.
enabling/disabling it here does nothing.  I have found a couple of places
after a Google search that says others are having same issue

Yes, true. But what happens to me is when I turn UAC off, Personalized
Favorites *is* functional. When I turn it back on, I no longer have
Personalized Favorites.
