I.E. 6 - missing favorites?!

Krusty

Hi all,
Hope someone can help me with this before I toss the pc out the window.
I'm running win2k with ie6. Up until last week, I had 20+ favorites in my 'favorites' folder. I'm been doing bit 'n bobs on the pc since then, but nothing major that would affect OS or apps (so i thought).

Now, when I click on favorites within ie6, the only entry is the 'links' folder, but it is also blank. When I browse via explorer to the location of my favorites(c:\docs&settings\me\favorites), they are still there, all intact, with no changes. They are all of .url type. Previous to this, as ye all know, I would click 'favorites' within ie and I would get the lovely drop-down list with my 20+ favorites.

I added the favorites folder to the start menu to see if i could go-around it that way, but same story. No favorites, just the blank links folder.

No I have no idea what I did to offend ie6 that it would rob me of my favorites. I know I can browse via explorer to get at the favorites, but a solution to this would make things waaaay easier for me.

Many thanks in advance.

when you open ie, click favorites and right click on the links folder and open it, see if your favories are in that favorites dir, if not try copying them in....hope this helps
