Repro steps:
In SkyDrive:
- Create a folder called 'Favorites'.
- Note: In this specific case, the user has other machines running Win8 and Win7 syncing IE favorites to this folder)
On new computer:
- Install/upgrade to Windows 8.1 (note: this also repros in Windows 8.1 RT)
- Windows Logo+R to open 'Run' dialog box
- Type: %userprofile% and press: 'OK' to open user's profile folder in Explorer
- Right-click the 'Favorites' folder and click 'Properties'
- Click 'Location' tab and click the 'Move...' button
- In the Destination dialog, choose: %userprofile%\SkyDrive\Favorites and click 'Select Folder'
- Click 'OK' on the 'Favorites Properties' dialog
Behavior (in Desktop Internet Explorer):
- In Desktop Internet Explorer, the 'Favorites' from SkyDrive appear as they should (this is expected)
- Navigate to any URL, and click 'Add to favorites'
- In the 'Add a Favorite' dialog, only the root 'Favorites' folder is shown in the 'Create in' field; no sub-folders are shown(expected: all sub-folders should appear)
- Click the 'New folder' button and type a name
- Result: the 'Create in' field is blank and appears disabled
- Click 'Ok'
- In IE, expand 'Favorites' and examine the folder you just created. It is empty. (expected: it should have a shortcut to the page you just saved)
Can anyone help with this issue?
