I'm unable to add favorites to my IE 11. I have tried all troubleshooting but seems not to be working. I'm getting this error:
Unable to create "favorite's shortcut name" Access is denied.

Try this first:
ATTRIB favorites –r
and hit Enter.If that doesn't work, try these next:
CD %userprofile%
and press Enter.icacls Favorites /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low
and press Enter.After the same endless frustration and what seemed like a lifetime of Google, I found this simple answer, and at least for me, it works like a charm. Just clear your cookies and caches.
The below procedure applies to my system: IE 11, Windows 8.1. Some variation of it should work for yours, if different.
You don't have to wait for full delete operation before trying again, give it about 20 seconds and you're good to go. Hope this helps, it was a lifesaver for me.
