    Where have all my favourites gone?

    I switched my computer on this morning, opened IE7 and all my favourites have disappeared (and to say I had a canny few is an understatement). They were there last night, I've had IE7 for a while now and I've not done anything to my computer at all recently so I dunno what could have caused this.

    Any ideas? Are they lost forever?

    if you go to C:\Documents and Settings\Lee\Favorites are they there?

    (assuming your logon name is Lee that is!)

    Yeah, tried that.

    I'm compiling a new list now using my history and stuff. Half of my old list I didn't use anyway.

    Its just strange.

    I'm here!! *waves*

    oh, you meant on your pooter :(

    :lol:

    Thats what you get for using IE. probs a bit of spyware thing knocked them off, most nasties are designed to attack IE as more people use it, but it is less secure.

    Switch to Mozilla :)

    I would but I really don't like Firefox, half the sites I go on don't work when I use it.
