Favorites deleted
History deleted

Well, there goes my idea that you could recover something by archiving
your Internet Explorer history.

If you made a hard drive backup before deleting, look for C:\Documents and
Settings\YourName\Favorites (this is in XP -- other systems should have
something similar). Just copy the folder with any subfolders back to your
C:\ drive. This folder is one which I regularly backup separately with
Karen's Replicator:

Try a file undeleter like Restoration or PC File Inspector. Favorites
have a funky real extension, which is hidden even if you make all
possible extensions visible in Explorer's Options. The extension is
apparently either .lnk or pif. <snip>

My favorites mostly have a .url extension.

Good, now you need to sort out a decent backup system.
There are some very good freeware backup programs-

Karen's Replicator + Cobian Backup are Pricelessware-

Then there is the free version of SyncBack-

I see there is also a "Backup Guide" that might be useful-
