Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2008Where Are My Bookmarks?
I cannot find my Bookmarks. I had them when I was using IE 6 and now that I am running IE 7 (v 7.0.5730.11IS) I have lost them. (PA Bear: if you read this it is possible that I asked this question some time ago but, if so, I have lost the answer...in addition to my bookmarks. As we used to say SBT.) Harry  Signature...A cynic does not read bitter lessons from the past; he is prematurely disappointed in the future... Here's your thread from October 2007, Harry: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general/browse_ frm/thread/ea7d194ee7b18e9e ================================== Upgrading from IE6 to IE7 properly should have no affect whatsover on your bookmarks (Favorites). 1. Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start IE7 in No Add-ons mode: Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons; or Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No add-ons). Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/07/25/678113.aspx 2. Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Settings (RIES)? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using! 3. If you uninstall (a) IE7 *exactly* per the link below (which automatically returns you to IE6), (b) all toolbars and (c) all third-party Windows Themes (including Window Blinds) and do NOT reinstall IE7, does this behavior persist? If it does, do NOT reinstall IE7. Uninstalling IE7 http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html [Only use the Command %windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe if you cannot uninstall via Add/Remove Programs!] IE7 (Un)Installation and Anti-Malware Applications: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/10/11/IE7-Installation-and-Anti_2D00_Malwa re-Applications.aspx 4. Required reading IMHO before reinstalling IE7: Sandi's Installation Tips <= Steps #1-8, #10 & #11; take note of #12, then STOP http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install I strongly recommend using http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update. Direct Download link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9ae91ebe-3385-447c-8a30 -081805b2f90b Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it. 5. Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after reinstalling IE7 to install any critical updates offered. If Optional Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.
