After they are deleted I notice that my favorites bar (IE) is blank, I click on the favorites tab and ALL my favorites are gone. I had HUNDREDS of sites in folders; all gone. The history is still there but not all of it. Some sites that I know I visited yesterday are not in the history. Also ALL my icons on my desktop are gone.

Also when I try to rebuild my list of sites and want to name a folder "Auto Forums" I get a message that the folder name already exists. So are my favs hidden somewhere?

I know I can rebuild the list but what a PITA. Anyone know how to restore the list?

It just got worst................it wiped my C drive.

Not much on it but it's gone.

Yes, that's a recent one. A bunch of your stuff gets hidden so you think it's gone, but it's not. I think my wife got it earlier this year.
