I saw this issue posted a while ago with no actual resolution. I would like to bring it up as I have the same problem.

When I click on the favorites icon, the window opens up and is blank. No favourites, no folders, no history. Yet, when I access the favorites form the tool bar on top, the list shows up with all of my favorites.

When I try to ADD a favorites though the "new" drop down icon in IE7, I receive a message that it is already there, yet it still does not SHOW up.

Only from the top tool bar drop down menus can I access any favorites. Why?

My system
MS Windows XP Home Edition, version 2002, service pack 2
AMD Athlon (tm) 64 processor
3000+
1.81 GHz, 512 RAM

THANKS, anyone.


Can you post a screen shot of IE immediately clicking on the Favorites icon? I suggest you reduce the window size to something fairly small for this procedure; we only need the left part of your IE window.I am not sure how to do that, but by simply clicking on the "star" icon, the blank MENU drops down, only showing the titles for favorites, feeds, and history. If I click on any of the those icons as well, nothing shows up. Thanks.I have IE 7 but I'm become a REGULAR user of Firefox. I have no idea what might be causing your problem. Hopefully, some of the IE users will chime in here.
