1. Close Internet Explorer.
2. Click the Start button.
3. Click All Programs.
4. Go into Accessories.
5. Right-click on Command Prompt.
6. Select Run as administrator.
7. When the UAC Prompt appears, click Continue.
8. At the command prompt, go to the new location for your Favorites folder.
9. Input icacls favorites /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low.
10. Press Enter on the keyboard.
11. Close the window.
You will now be able to write to your Favorites folder.

I fixed it myself by moving favorites to my documents. Now I can save to favorites again with IE.
