Apparently that links to the real storage location for that folder.

Actually, for future reference, the situation is a little more complex
than that, as I explained in my other post upthread, but I'm glad you've
got it sorted.

BUT one puzzle remains. As I said in my original note, one of my first
troubleshooting steps was to search the registry for "Favorites 160822",
but I got no hits.

My guess would be that the apparent space in "Favorites 160822" was
actually some other obscure character that printed as a space.
