P.S.
How old is your daughter? Is she able to describe to you what she did that
sabotaged your Favorites? That might help if she understandds or remembers
what she did.
ell you

Well, someone got me to export and import a file earlier in the evening, so
now five items show up, but your way of copying and pasting would have
worked. They just made it too complicated, so alas, I only have five items
in my favorites.

But Sherry, just curious: When you're in the browser, and you put up the
Favorites menu (Alt A in IE 6 or Control I in IE 7), does a list of
favorites open, at least? You haven't said that. If nothing happens when you
try to open your Favorites menu, that would concur with the message you're
getting, of course.
Well, as I told Jaybee, I'm sorry but I can't help. I've never had a folder
just disappear on me, especially one I wasn't sure where it had been to
begin with. This is a little confusing for me to figure out. Sorry. It's
late now, even on the West Coast where I am. May7be tomorrow one of the more
skillful subscribers on the list will read the messages in this thread and
post a helpful suggestion. Again, sorry.
eople ma.Shewrry,

It's that I saw the folders file under all users, which has since
disappeared, but when I tried to go into organize favorites in IE 7, it said
the folder was empty.

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.
