This must be a bug in Spartan (ya think?):
I have in IE several folders on my Favorites Bar. Two of them are 'Favorites' and 'Links'. Now this works just fine
in IE, but Spartan does not like it. Not at all.
As we all know (or should), the folder in your home directory is called 'Favorites'. And the Favorites Bar is really
called 'Links' if you are at a DOS prompt and doing the dir command.
So when I use these two folders within those folders it just drives Spartan into a tizzy.
I wound up having to delete and reimport all the IE bookmarks but first renaming those two folders. And everything
worked just fine after that.
If anyone is interested, the Favorites folder for Spartan is located at:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft .Windows.Spartan_cw5n1h2txyewy\AC\Spartan\User\Def ault\Favorites
And a 2nd cute piece of info is the depth of this favorites folder created issues with some of my bookmarks that were
maybe 2 or 3 folders deep on their own and had long filenames. Windows bucked at the full filename that was too long to
save. So IMHO it was stupid for MS to place that folder that deep in the system.
Oh well, all is well now with Spartan, and on to other testing... LOL
