Occasionally when I click a link in my Favorites Bar IE8 will open a file download prompt for the shortcut itself (.url file).
Very annoying.
Has anyone else experienced this? I swear I encounter this at least once a day.

Seems kinda stupid to click "New Tab" first only to click a favorites bar link.
A "solution" to this is to just Ctrl+click the favorites bar links to open them in a new tab.
Clicking a favorites link.

IE8 is a forced program and the sandbox settings allow direct access to IE Favorites.
Have noticed that if I delete a folder in sandboxed IE8 it disappears from the...

I'll look into this issue, though I can't say exactly when that will happen .

This is an old problem--I've been waiting for Microsoft to change it back--ha.

Favorites are listed but icons of each and every one of them has been replaced by the dreaded icon (whatever it's called) that shows up when there's no recognition of a file being there.

Saved Favorites on the external drive are ALSO inoperable and look the same as the Favorites on my IE8 and Mozilla Firefox for "Toolbar Favorites." I'm obviously not making my situation clear.
