[gui-talk] straightening out my favorites

Tue Feb 5 15:04:44 CST 2008

It is not in the recycle bin. I guess I can try the importing and exporting 
again, but it didn't seem to work. Thanks though for your suggestions.

Joel,

In Internet Explorer 6, "import and export" are on the File menu.  Using 
this allows one to access their favorites without needing to know the folder 
structure, and I
think it takes care of finding all of the favorites that one might have. 
For example, one could have favorites both under their user and under "all 
users" depending
upon a number of factors.

Sherri, did your daughter set up a new user on your machine?  Be sure to 
check within each user inside Documents and Settings to see if your 
favorites may have
ended up somewhere unexpected.  Also, if you only have five favorites now, 
be sure that one is not a folder that contains other favorites.  It is hard 
to know exactly
what happened.  The chances are pretty good that they are there somewhere if 
you didn't specifically delete them, but you might also check your recycle 
bin.

Best regards,

Steve
