How to change the Location of IE Favorites

* Create a new folder in drive D: which is separated from the Windows drive. In this tutorial I name the folder to be “Favorites“.
* Click Start > Run and type regedit then press Enter.
* In the Registry Editor window, Go to the path like below,

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

* In the right hand panel of the Registry Editor window, Find the string name Favorites and double click on it.
* Change the location of IE Favorites to the new location which is the new folder you created it in the first step like D:\Favorites then click OK.
* Go to the path,

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

* Again find the Favorites string and double click on it.
* Change the location to D:\Favorites and then click OK.

diff3 & merge
