I posted a question 5 hours ago about my vanishing favorite folder. I really need your help. Please respond.?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I had a folder under Favorites titled Recipes. In that folder I had a link to Yahoo Questions Cooking & Recipes. That is not a problem. I can easily restore that. I also had at least 100 links to my favorite recipe sites. That is a problem. My folder just vanished.

I can help you with questions about cooking, gardening and decorating but when it comes to technology I need your help. Please answer my question.

What can I do to avoid loosing my folders?

Many thanks

    Thank you for answering my question. I really appreciated it. I googled your question and came up with many solutions. Sorry if they do not work.

    1)Start>My Computer, then pull-down Tools and select Folder Options.

    Click on the View tab, and make sure that the following is checked:

    Show hidden files and folders

    Then click on Apply button and Ok to exit the Folders Options window.

    2)To restore back the Links folder which will be recognized and detected as shell folder for Favorite Links in navigation pane, and thus allowing users to manage the shortcuts or URLs in the “Favorite Links” pane again, type shell:links in Start Search box in Start Menu, or in the Run command. “shell:links” will re-create the valid folder again in appropriate user location again. Users cannot simply recreate a new “Links” folder as it’s not linked or associated with Favorite Links. And if you’re already create a new folder named as “Links” manually, remove it else the command will not overwrite the existing non-shell Links folder, but will create a “New Folder” shell folder for Favorite Links instead.

    3)This may be due to a corrupt User Profile (just a guess). You can still access your Favorites from the start menu (providing you have is selected to show)

    Show favorites in start menu:

    1. Right Click Toolbar (the bar at the bottom of screen). Choose Properties.

    2. Click the 'Start Menu' tab and choose Customize

    3. Check Favorites

    4. Click OK.

    If the favorites show up there, try to save them in a safe place. The create a new user name.

    If the favorites work in your browser in the newly created user name, I would try to transfer shortcuts/documents to there. Or, you can keep the old user name and try a repair.

    I will check back frequently for your feedback. Let me know if the solutions I found has worked out or not. You've helped helped me with my question and I'm TRYING to help you. Let me know.

    it ought to be that the proprietors are out of touch and could no longer yet be reached. it ought to be they're attempting to verify how plenty the owe- or what it would value to do something you're asking them to do, it ought to be that the husband and spouse are arguing, it ought to be the corporate's agent dropped their telephone in the lavatory- or 1000 different issues. i might call my agent and ask. The remaining expenses are only like reducing the acquisition cost with the aid of that plenty (from the corporate's attitude). so which you assert you think of your furnish is only below what you think of the marketplace cost is. No- i do no longer think of you scared them away. A company is by no ability legally obligated to respond in any respect- even once you positioned a time decrease on it. yet an proprietor that rather needs to sell might routinely communicate with you as right away as obtainable- it could be of their ultimate pastime. i might call my agent and ask fairly than wait. in case you have a 2d determination sources- i might ask if I would desire to flow directly to the 2d determination.
