George,

First, make sure that the favorites files exists in the hard disk. Do a search for *.URL files. If they are intact, open Registry Editor and goto:

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

In both the locations, look for the value "Favorites" in the right-pane and post the contents here.
