Somehow I lost my list of favorites in internet explorer. The file is still there under my login id documents and settings but ie6 does not see it. It does see my desktop and my address book etc. Anyone know how to get it back?
 
Have you tried to import them using the File->Import and Export menu?

Not yet, but if I can't find out why they don't show up even though they
are in my documents and settings folder I'll try the import.
 
Hi Bill,

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".

If this is not the case and the wizard gives you an error message when you
hit finish, run the edit on line 247 (right hand side)
