I just installed IE 7.0 and when I try to open my favorites, it tells me 'opening 25 will take a long time' How do I get around this? I'm lost without them.

Your tring to open up every link in your favorites folder at once it seems. Click on the GOLD star on the left side of your tool bar. Then on the links folder if you have your links grouped in folders it will have a drop down list inside each folder of all your links then just click on the link you want to open if you click on the BLUE arrow at the end of each folder you will open up all the links in that folder. Also you can hold your Ctrl key down and click on additional links to open them up in another tab.

Well duhhh. I'd see a folder I wanted to open, and immediately go to the right to the blue arrow and click on it. I have no idea why, but it never occurred to me to click on the folder itself - maybe because we didn't with 6.0.

Thank you, appreciate you stopping by to answer.

I too am having problems with IE 7.0 and my favorites. Now when I click on some icons and in the favorites displayed listing, my print command pops up. I used too qliner's hotkeys which had been working well, but now does the same thing. Note that some of the icons do work, but some do note.

Short of uninstalling 7.0 or importing favories, where should I look..
