Fix problems that Windows 7 Favorites can't expand

The "Favorites" on the left side of Win7's Explorer provides the equivalent of "Shortcuts".

Today, my Windows 7 encountered a small problem, the Explorer's "Favorites" could not be expanded, but the "Library" and "Computer" were fine. But click on "Favorites" to go to the "Favorites" folder, the shortcuts inside are not lost. I tried to right click on "Favorites" and selecting the "Restore Favorites" link has no effect. In other words, some reasons have caused the "Favorites" of Windows 7 Explorer to fail.

I haven't found the answer for a long time. I used English as a keyword to search. After several links, I finally found the answer.

Win7 Favorites can not be expanded solution:

In the "vistax64" forum, some users posted Vista's favorites are cleared and the Explorer's "Favorites" cannot be expanded. The solution to the problem, one of the methods to modify the registry has been tested and validated, share as follows:

1. Run regedit

2. Expand to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTlnkfile

3. Add A string value: IsShortcut, do not need to fill in the string value, press Enter

4, re-login
