IE favorites suddenly vanished?

I used to have many favorites in my IE. Today I had some problem with IE and so I restarted my system once. From then, I am not able to see links under the favorites. It is just blank.

But when i viewed the "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator", I can see the favorites folder with all the links which I saved.

But still I am not able to see the favorites from IE. Can anyone help me?

Most likely you upgraded to the new IE. The best way to get your favs back the following - on the Menu bar - click File - Import Export - at welcome screen Next - Import Favorites - Browse to the directory of your favorites - DONE :)

Sounds like you are using a different account in Windows.

In My Computer, goto C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator

Copy the Favorites folder.

Then navigate to the username you are using now. Mine would be

C:\Documents and Settings\Joe

Paste the Favorites folder to add your old favorites to your current user.

Go into IE and try.
