| | Just upgraded to XP from 98 ME. I cannot find any of my favorites on
| Internet Explorer?. Does the system delete them?
An upgrade should not delete your Microsoft Internet Explorer
favorites. And according to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base
Article this problem might be due to the fact that you created a new
user during the upgrade process and are now logged on as that new
user. The solution is to log on as the original user account that has
your favorites. For more information see the following Microsoft
Knowledge Base article:

Missing After Upgrade to Windows XP Professional

And if that does not help...
- If you did not create profiles on your Windows 98 SE computer then
look for your favorites in the following folder:
C:Windows\Favorites
If you did create profiles then look for your favorites in the
following folder:
C:\Windows\Profiles\<name>\Favorites
where <name> is the name you used to log in to Windows.
