    Favorites does not use up memory. It takes up space on your hard drive. 500 entries into favorites would not take up very much hard drive space. If your computer is slowing down, I would be more concern that spyware and adware might be running in the background using up your resources and memory.

    It probably is not slowing your computer, but it is using a lot of hard drive space.

    It only uses space and only a little. do a right click on this file. and select properties to see how much space is taking.

    C:\Documents and Settings\Jahan\Favorites

    note: Replace "john" with your user name.

    It does not use memory. If you empty your favorite folder, you shouldn’t see any improvement in your memory ( you can monitor it through Task Manager)
