But when you look for it in Windows 10 you can’t find it anywhere! So where the hell is it! On Windows 7/8/8.1 systems the Favorites can be found inside the users profile in “C:\Users\”. While they say you can’t add the Favorites folder to the “Quick Start” folders, you can add/import your previous favorites without the use of the bookmark.htm file. Ok so there I was searching the forums on where the Favorites folder is located and all I get is how to set it up in Edge and not IE11. Guess what… it doesn’t exist… at least until you bookmark your first page!
If you’ve used small sized SSD’s then you may be familiar with relocating your “My Documents” folders to save precious SSD space, obviously with falling SSD prices and greater capacities this is becoming somewhat redundant but it’s me so what the hey! I typically have one drive setup as my C: drive for the main OS and to avoid the possibility of data loss I moved my user profile to the secondary drive. If like many people who have decided to take the plunge an do a clean install of Windows 10 but don’t like Microsoft’s new “Edge” browser and want to transfer your IE Favorites but can’t find where the folder is located then you’ve come to the right place!įirstly I’ve been using two hard drives in my setup for the last few years.
