Today I encountered a small problem with Windows 7. The "Favorites" of the Explorer cannot be expanded, but the "Library" and "Computer" can. But click "Favorites" to enter the "Favorites" folder, and the shortcuts inside are not lost. I tried right-clicking "Favorites" and selecting the "Restore Favorites" link to no avail. In other words, some reasons caused the "Favorites" of Windows 7 Explorer to malfunction.
I searched for a long time but couldn't find the answer. I used English as the keyword to search. After several link jumps, I finally found the answer.
Solution to Win7 favorites that cannot be expanded:
In the forum, some netizens posted a solution to the problem of the favorites being cleared under Vista and the "Favorites" of the resource manager not being able to be expanded. One of the methods of modifying the registry has been tested and effective. It is shared as follows:
1. Run regedit
2. Expand to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTlnkfile
3. Add a string value: IsShortcut. There is no need to fill in the string value, just press Enter.
4. Log in again
