I keep all my favourites for IE , in a folder on my nas drive , and just copy the contents to users/XX/favourite's, then delete the ones I dont need .
win 10 preview:
started using a Microsoft loggin (needed for preview updates) , however I change back to a local password with no loggin req afterwards.
every time I change to the m/soft account and back again , it brings back the 50 or so deleted favourite's ,
delete again , update warning "inside build needs account attention" so log in to Microsoft to check , then back to local account and the !!!!!!s are back.
is there , where is there a setting that will allow me to delete this , do my deletes then come back to normal

It doesn't your question on Favourites, but why don't you set up two accounts - MS account to keep the Insider status happy, and local account for actually doing stuff?
Edit:Or you could try going into the Settings app, then select Accounts, then Sync Your Settings, and switch off the one about Web Browser Settings0 -
I have a MS account and a local one , MS is needed for inside prevue updates , but you must log onto your machine if you reboot etc , local account (gmail) can be set for auto log on , its when I change to MS it re imports all my old stuff
like an android phone when you reload (new phone etc) and sign in , it brings back all your old contacts
if that makes sence?0 -
So does having 2 accounts mean you can't auto-login on a local one then? Did you see the Edit I did above mentioning the Settings thing - does that help?0

ok , just read your edit , you cant change settings till you log in via ms ,
you can auto log in on the gmail (local) but not the MS
I,ve tried synching , will check again later
cheers
