In this version, the favorites folder does not automatically appear. I have
followed the instructions from the discussion group on how to add it to the
"my places" bar.

How do I save files into this "favorites" folder now? It is no longer a
right-click option or an option under tools on the open window? Is there a
quick way to do this other than creating a shortcut and then cutting that
shortcut and placing it in the folder?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Leigh Ann
