Where is the favourites folder in Windows 7?

Where is the favourites folder in Windows 7? I wanted to copy my favourites links from another machine onto a newly installed Windows 7 machine, but the system won't let me paste them into the Favourites folder showing at the top of Windows Explorer.

"The Documents and Settings folder simply changed name to Users in Vista and Windows 7.

%USERPROFILE%\Favorites

will work on all versions."

"As well as the %USERPROFILE% trick, this also works from the Start Menu or Run dialog:

shell:favorites"

"Go to C:/Users.

You should see a list AppData, Public, <your user name>. Click on the user name – in my case ""Ric"".

Favorites is in here along with Contacts, My Music, My Pictures, Downloads, My Documents, Desktop etc, unlike in Windows XP where you had to hunt in different places for these files, Windows 7 has them all in the one folder."

Look under \Users\username, the Favorites folder is there.

Remember for you to view th favourites folder under C:\Users\Steve\Favorites you must first enable the view hidden files and system files
