Does anyone have a clue why my Favorites file disappeared overnight?
When I logged in this morning, ie 7 recognized my preferred homepage
(my yahoo), but had lost the log-in information, forcing me to reset my
My Yahoo log-in. In addition, all of my Google search preferences (50
items, open in new window, etc.) had been lost.
Finally, and most depressing, all of my Favorites are gone. Note that
the Favorites folders and files for all the other users on my WinXP
system still can see their Favorites files, but I, as Administrator,
cannot. (Curiously, the Favorites star on the ie 7 page still displays
the history of my sites visited.)
Another curiosity is that one of my children's Favorites files was
visible in Documents & Settings/user name, but the other users had had
their Favorites folders coded as "hidden."
I have looked in everyone's trash files, and the Fav's folder isn't
hiding in any of those bins.
My two questions at this time are (a) any hope of resurrecting my old
Favorites and (b) what might have caused this hiccup?
Any clues or advice gratefully accepted.
