Favorites Folder Not Expanding  

I got the favorites to show but it does have the ">" arrow but when I click it don't expand but goes to the folder, any ideas on how to make this thing expand?

There are folders in the favorites folder. You can also see from the original post the carrot ">" showing there are some in the folder as well, when I expand it it just goes away and not folders show.

Hi, what do you see if you try opening this folder?

%userprofile%\Favorites

(copy and paste into file explorer's address bar)

It can only expand if it has sub-folders within it - otherwise it has nothing to expand. Does it have sub-folders?

The Favorites folder is only used by IE - no other browser uses it. Do you use IE?

The favorites here we are speaking about is the folder structure of windows explorer panels, not favorites IE. Yes, there are items in folder the carrots ">" shows that but when expanding nothing comes of it and the carrot goes away.



Similar to this

The Favorites folder is a virtual folder, as opposed to the IE Favorites folder...

To make the Favorites folder expand in the Navigation Pane, you have to add items but, you can only add items via the Links folder...

But in Windows 10 it is called & normally displayed as "Quick access" not "Favorites". How are you managing to get it displayed using the Favorites name [as your diagram shows]?

I agree that its default location is at C:\Users\%Username%\Links

Winaero Tweaker... (which is probably what the OP did!)
(it's still a shell location)

Zman,

Is that correct? We are discussing the Quick access entry and you have renamed it using some third-party utility?

Denis

I suspect the OP enabled Favorites with a 3rd party utility, my My Folders entry is Quick Access.
