  1. I have just bought a windows 10 pro dell. I burned all my files to a dvd. I am trying to export these files to my favorites in Internet explorer . I have seen all those same files you showed, but when I click on Favorites all of my shortcuts come up & I can’t even do one at a time. All the help I can get will be appreciated. I called Dell (brand new laptop). They wanted me to pay them which I will not & never will I buy a Dell computer again. Please help.
