Not the answer, but you might like to read it.

I still suggest calling support.

Not sure what that is so I think I'll leave it alone. Did a Google on
that registry line and the best I could get was that it has something to
do with Protected Mode. Turned Protected Mode off and back on again in
the Internet Options with no change in my ability to save new "internet
sites" to anywhere in my Favorites chain. I'm pretty sure that the issue
has to do with how I imported the Favorites from my old hard disk, ie by
copying them on to a thumb drive from the old HD and then copying them
onto the new HD that had already been installed with Vista64.

Perhaps you could try turning MIC off temporarily to see if
that affects your issue?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableMIC.

I believe turning this off will defeat 'protected mode' IE, but not all
of UAC.

Have you tried support yet?

Hope this is the right place for a UAC question

I have a Vista64 Ultimate system. A few weeks after the initial build,
I determined that the hard disk was bad as it would hang until it had
run and warmed up for quite a while. Purchased a new hard disk and
reinstalled windows. As part of the "new" install, I used an 8Gig USB
drive to transfer personal files (including Favorites) from the old
system/hard disk to the new one. Process was to boot up windows on the
old hard disk, transfer files to the USB drive, boot up windows on the
new hard disk and transfer the files from the USB drive to the new C:
drive.

The new hard disk/system is working fine except I cannot add new
bookmarks/favorites to favorite folders I transferred when surfing the
net. With UAC ON, I get the following error:

Unable to Create "internet site"
Unspecified Error

when trying to save or paste a new internet site/url to folders I
transferred from the old hard disk. Files CAN be saved directly to the
Favorites directory. With UAC OFF, all favorite saves work as
expected.

I have tried "taking ownership" of each and every folder in the
Favorites directory, but the problem remains. I would really like to
use UAC for what its worth, but the problem of not being able to save
URLs without turning UAC off and rebooting makes it REALLY hard.
