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.
