Vanishing Favourites

[Gareth1978]

I'm using IE6 with Win 2k. My favourites have vanished. They are still there in Documents and settings in my profile but not when I click on Favourites in IE. I'm not sure if the issue is with IE or 2k..

Any advice much apreciated.

Open IE and open you favorites folder then higlight and drag them into your IE favorites.

Check the registry for the location pointed to at these two locations:

You can change the value of Favorites in the Registry in these two keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellFolders

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserShell Folders

I just had mine vanish, I was online during a server reboot. My favorites are (were) on the Network, so I assumed it reset to C:\Documents and Settings\USername. I can't access my Registry, so I did the drag&drop from my H: drive. That worked, but it didn't actually copy them to the C drive. Huh? So I thought maybe it reset the pointer to my H:\Favorites folder. To test that wild theory I added a new favorite - it's not on the H: or the C drive, but its there somewhere! Where else could it be ?

Never Mind. I found it in the WINNT folder.
