Hi gang!
I hope someone can help with an odd problem. It seems to
be the same problem [mevans 1/2/04 "IE Favorites Changed
Inexplicably"] is having. First, I have all Win and IE 6
updates, run firewall, AV, spyware finders, etc. (manually
run, virtually nothing run in Startup or Services).
All of a sudden I noticed that the IE Favorites menu shows
nothing but Links. I actually have many dozens of valid
links and about ten organizing folders, and these do exist
under my user profile--they just don't show under IE.
However, if I run IE as Admin they appear (though they
should not as they were added under User). If I go to the
registry I can find the keys were the proper paths were
changed to "c:\winnt\Favorites." This affects only my User
profile, all other profiles are correct. When I edit
these, as Admin or User, they "take" but next time I run
IE I see no Favorites--and back in the registry the keys
have been changed back to the
incorrect "c:\winnt\Favorites." If I create a new
Favorites key the same reset happens. As far as I can
remember the only thing I did before this happened (this
machine is infrequently used) is run Win Update and Norton
AV update. Anyone have any ideas out there? Any clues
would be much appreciated! Cheers, Joel
