Favorites shell registry settings do not save

I recently changed computer membership from a domain to a workgroup and ever since I have not been able access or save any favorites.  Every time I add the registry key than close and repoen it the settings are gone.  I have tried both under my user ID and administrator.  This is very frustrating.  
At one time when I was on the domain I had changed my favorites location to point to the network, but I did not copy over any of my domain user profile information.

Open regeidt and check "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Favorites" key. If it is not the right path put the right path and close IE and open it again.

Thank you.  Off the domain for a month and I forget basics.
