Re: 'Favorites' and 'Home' in Microsoft Streets and Trips
Hi Rich,
Welcome to Laptop GPS World. The current version of Microsoft Streets and Trips 2008 doesn't have Home and Favorite Destinations feature built-in. Let's hope future versions will include this basic functionality.  However, you could try the free S&T Keys add-on. It adds both features. Pressing the Home-key on your keyboard will set the program to navigate you to your home (or any pre-set destination). Pressing F8-key will bring up the following dialog box listing you favorite destinations.  Read more about this free add-on in S&T Keys - Hotkeys for Microsoft Streets & Trips

Re: 'Favorites' and 'Home' in Microsoft Streets and Trips
To solve the problem you describe, I have created an extremely simple itinerary that consists soley of my home address as BOTH the start and end of a route in Route Planner, hit "Get Directions", and then saved the .est file where S&T can easily find it. Then when I am creating a new itinerary that starts and ends at home, I just open the .est file and start adding stops.
Be sure, however, to save that new itinerary with a new .est file name or you will have wiped out your home .est file.
