IE6 Favorites contain no URL's/Web Document tab missing under properties 1

[captsnappy]

XP Pro SP3. User's computer has been turned off for about a month because he was on a gig. He came back and now in IE6 when clicking on any Favorites, the browser goes nowhere. Looking under Documents and Settings\user\Favorites and going to Properties there is no Web Document tab.

Ideas?

TIA

Copy them and try them on another computer to see if they are hosed. If not, then scan for malware. You should be updated to IE8 at this point in XP's life.

Yep: they're good on another machine. I'll scan for malware after lunch.

Tnanks, goombawaho.

Ha! And all this time I thought I was part of the 99%. Or at least the 47%!

Yep, upgrading to IE8 solved the problem.

Glad you got it fixed.
