favorites on drop down list missing.

Can someone help me out my favorites list has disappeared and l dont know how
to get the list back on. All my favorites are still in a folder in my
documents but l dont know how to get them back onto the favorites list and
why they went missing in the first place. l tryed system restore but that did
not restore the list. , l'm on windows vista IE. l know where my favorites
are all kept in documents(favorites) but they have gone from my drop down
list when l get a web page up and would like to put them back onto the main
page .

Click Start and type :
%userprofile%/Favorites
This is the folder used by IE. Drag the other favorites you have found to
that folder.
If you see an 'access denied' message, you will probably need to 'take
ownership' of that folder.
Add Take Ownership to right-click menu in Vista:

Voting ?
Are you checking ID's ?
What about "hanging chads" ?
Florida never should count ... the numerals 0 - 9 seem to confuse them.
The need the decimal system 0 and 1 ... that's it !
Of course , the 0 and 1 would still confuse them.
They need a system of "Jacks or Better" !
Or the Red pill or the Blue Pill.

Hi Mark,

I have the same problem, but I'm working in Window XP is there some fix for
me as well?
