[gui-talk] straightening out my favorites

Sherry,

you don't have to do anything. When I want to edit my Favorites list within 
Windows Explorer rather than bother trying to do it while actually on the 
Web, that's exactly where I go. Or almost, anyway, because all my stuff is 
under Documents and Settings/Admin. Not All Users.

But in any case, that's fine. They don't have to go anywhere, so far as I 
know. In fact, I've never even looked for Internet Explorer as a folder. Let 
me see where that is...

Well, I can't figure out where there are actual folders with Internet 
Explorer files on my hard drive. I never thought about it. The only place I 
ever was told to look for the Favorites folders and files was just where I 
said they are, under documents and settings. And you can work with them just 
fine there.

Now if you're saying you actually no longer have Favorites when you're on 
the Web and you press Insert I (in IE 7) or Insert A, I think it is, in IE 
6, that's a mystery I would have no ideas about.

I guess I'm not sure what it is that's bothering you, I confess. Sorry.

I am desperately in need of someone who is computer knowledgeable to help me 
with my latest computer dilemma. Today, my daughter unwittingly made a 
change to my folders and now my "favorites" have disappeared. I found them 
all residing in a folder under documents and settings/all users, but I don't 
know how to get that folder back into my IE7 under favorites. I can access 
each website, but I must first go to documents and settings to do so. Any 
suggestions on how to move this folder back where it belongs. I already 
tried system restore and it didn't change anything. Any help would be 
monumentally appreciated. I have spent all day at this, much to the 
detriment of my work, which is medical transcription.
