Error 1325: Favorites is not a valid short file name.

Hello folks!

 

Yesterday I made the jump and D/L and installed EMC9! During my attempt to install it, I ran into a problem. When the install wizard got to the "computing disk space" part, a pop-up would come up with the following information: Error 1325: Favorites is not a valid short file name. I thought WTF.....

 

After closer examination, I saw that the favorite display option had been disabled on my desktop. The simple solution was to go into Start/Properties, re-enable the display favorite, reboot, and voila!

 

Clean install all the way! <Happy dance here!>

 

I'm not sure this was posted before, but just in case I decided to relate my story. HTH

 

Cheers!

Never seen this mentioned before. My Favorites Menu is not enabled and I didn't get the error. But, if it happened to you it most likely will to others and your post will be helpful.

Thanks
