Windows Me Tool bar

Dsquared · Jun 18, 2002

I'm running Windows Me. When I have Windows Explorer up (like when I click on "My documents"), my tool bar has the same options as when I have Internet Explorer on the screen("Favorites" "History" etc.) However, the Favorites links don't work there. They work fine when I'm running IE.
My question is, should I have "Favorites" on the tool bar in Windows Explorer and if so, why don't they take me to the respective web site?

the favourites folder is displayed in windows explorer and my docs in me. On mine they work fine, just a thought but you are on line when you click these favourites there aren't you?

What version of IE are you using ??

Perhaps you need to do a repair ??

I have a cable high speed connection so I'm always connected. I've tried it with IE running too - no difference.

Me version? - I don't see a version number when I go to the "About Windows" screen under the "Help" menu.

Repair? - What kind of repair? Actually, I just did a reinstall of Windows on top of my present one.

H !! with repair I mean't

Go to start\settings\control panel\add-remove programs once there scroll down to Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0 (Depending on which version you currently have) and tools, highlight same and click remove. When popup occurs select the repair option and enter.

This can't do any harm.

IE isn't listed in my add/remove programs list. I have IE5.5.4134 which appears to be working fine.
