Favorites hijacked

I'm running Windows XP, Explorer 6.
As of the last update, my Favorites have been reorganized, thereby I'm
missing them in the list I originally created. If I do not click on a
Favorites for a day, it disappears! How do I fix this? Thanks in advance.

From what I remember of XP, it has an option to hide unused items or programs
in its lists. There should be something that resembles >> (with the points
going down) at the bottom of the list to show the rest of your favorites (or
any other list it does it to). It should also be in the order that you put
them in when the whole list is shown. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response.

You partly answered, I know about the >> to scroll down. What I've done is
create folders where I keep appropriate web sites. example: folder labeled
"Library" ckicking on this folder, I will have my County and Publuc
libraries, and a bunch of news website. If I don't click on this folder for a
day or two, it vanishes. If I turn off the computer, and reboot, it'll be
there, but as I cruise the net, it again goes away. I've looked in Tools,
Internet Options, Advanced, and the box is un-checked to close history and
favorited files. This all started with the last Update, I believe Dec. 8.
