Windows 2000 is driving me crazy. I've two questions:
1) Where does Iexplorer keep the Favorites folder?
2) Where does Windows keep my profile settings? I have had several times that my profile settings file is corrupt, and I had to make it from scratch again.

1) C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Favorites
2) I think its ntuser.dat but I forgot where it is.

That file is located in "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator".
Thanks, thank you very much!!!

Be VERY careful changing around stuff in the Administrator profile.
If you corrupt that profile, no login. No login, reinstall time.
I would highly recommend making a user with administrator priveliges for your primary use, and leaving the Administrator account as-is in case a profile corruption requires you to login as Administrator to fix things.
Same principle as using the root account all the time in Unix, not the best idea ;).

I did that when installing Win2000 :) It was a typo, I meant:
... located in "C:\Documents and Settings\Wilbert"
But thanks for the warning.
