how do I change my favorites folder

My default favorites folder needs to be changed. How do I
do this.

Presently it defaults to a folder named favorites that has
a multitude of systems files and folders within it, so I'd
rather not delete these files and folders. The correct
favorites folder is actually a sub-folder within the
current favorites folder.

This process seemed to be fairly straight forward before
XP. But I'm stumped.

Thanks
Andrew

Special Folders section, you can redirect Favorites.
