I'm using Windows 7, 32 bit, and awhile back I deleted the links that came standard under the "Favorites" pane, and when trying to add my own, it did not work. I've tried clicking "Restore Links" here, but it didn't do anything. And the "Add Current Location to Favorites" shortcut doesn't work either.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Have you moved your temporary internet folder (or did you upgrade from Win XP/Vista). This issue is mostly based on moved temporary internet folder location.
