If try to add an empty folder under Favorites by editing the Internet Explorer Favorites and Links policy setting of a Group Policy object (GPO), the empty folder that you added is not saved as part of the policy after you close Group Policy Object Editor.

 * 2) Click the GPO that you want to edit, and then click Edit.
 * 3) In the Group Policy Object Editor window, expand User Configuration, expand Windows Settings, expand Internet Explorer Maintenance, and then click URLs.
 * 4) In the right pane, click Favorites and Links.
 * 5) Click Favorites, and then click Add Folder.
 * 6) In the Name box, type a name for the folder, and then click OK.
 * 7) Under Favorites, click the folder that you just created, click Add URL, and then type a name for the URL in the Name box.
 * 8) In the URL box, type a URL, click OK, and then click OK again to close the Favorites and Links dialog box.
