Disk Cleaner can Speed Up Your Windows: Solution to Error: Add to Favorites locks up when I try to add

Add to Favorites locks up when I try to add

When I'm on a website that I want to bookmark, and I hit "Add to Favorites," my Internet Explorer locks up. Sometimes, if I let it grind, after 10 minutes the dialog box will come up. Sometimes not.

If I go to "Organize Favorites," the dialog box comes up immediately.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Dana Q.
·         Which version of Internet Explorer is installed on the computer?
·         Were you able to add favorites before without any issues?
The Favorites bar replaces the Links toolbar from previous versions of Internet Explorer, and hosts not only your favorite links, but also feeds and Web Slices.
You can drag links—either from the Address bar or from web pages—onto the Favorites bar so that
your favorite information is only a click away.
You can also rearrange the items on your Favorites bar or organize them into folders.
And you can use feeds and a new feature called Web Slices to check for updates to content on your favorite websites without
navigating away from your current page.
Follow the steps below to customize your Favorites bar

1.
Open Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Internet Explorer.

2.
Go to the webpage you want to add to the Favorites bar.
3.
Do one of the following:

    •Drag the webpage icon from the Address bar to the Favorites bar.
      •Drag a link from a webpage directly to the Favorites bar.
      •Click the Add to Favorites Bar button.
Access the link below for more information on the above mentioned steps and more.
