[Guest]

AAAARGH!!! every day something new. i clicked on my favorite favorites
folder which has about 60 urls in it, just like i do several times a day and
VOILA!!!! GONE
LOST, DISAPPEARED. JUST LIKE NEVER THERE. i rebooted and rebooted and spent
the next hour trying to find an answer from microsoft --- an answer to
Palestinian problem would be easier.

AAAAARGGH

there somewhere!!!!!!!

Look in the folder "Documents and Settings", "user name",

Sounds like a corrupt profile. Run system restore. Use a restore
point date to go back to before you lost your favorites.

Hi,

Thought:

I have seen this behavior caused by McAfee and from the date and time being
incorrect. Checkpoints and Suggestions:

Check to be sure that your date and time is correct. Also, if you are using
McAfee, this will help:

McAfee gave this solution to the bug where VirusScan 6 stops your
Internet Explorer History file working.

Open VirusScan console
Select "Pick a task..."
Select "Change my VirusScan settings"
Select "Configure VShield background scanning"
Select "Customise your VShield settings"

Select the "Internet Filter" icon from the icons down the left hand side On
the "Detection" tab, in the 'Applet filters' section, remove the tick next
to "ActiveX Controls".

Note: These notes are from an older version.

Tip for when you get it setup again, incase the list is gone:
