Q: Organize Favorites dialog in IE displays a "Red X" mark
A: If you have this problem, there can be 3
reasons for that:
1. Missing Shell Name Space registration.
Login as Administrator and type in the Command
line the following:
regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll
2. Shell Name Space disabled via Manage Add-ons dialog (XP SP2)
If the Shell Name Space add-on was accidentally
disabled via the Manage Add-ons dialog (XP SP2),
re-enable the add-on.
Here is the add-on description:
Shell Name Space
{55136805-B2DE-11D1-B9F2-00A0C98BC547}
ActiveX Control
shdocvw.dll
To launch the Manage Add-ons dialog, follow
these steps:
Start Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Manage Add-ons.
Click the name of the add-on [Shell Name Space]
Click Enable, and then click OK.
3. Recent IE cumulative update
If you first saw the problem with favorites
after installing the MS05-052 - cumulative
update for Internet Explorer, download the
following VBScript –
olereg.vbs - and run the
file.
