These are no longer a few of my favorite things

Q: Where did all of my Internet favorites go?

A: I am going to take a wild stab that your computer was recently updated with Internet Explorer version 7. In the previous version of Internet Explorer, your Internet favorites were all listed underneath a menu item appropriately named “Favorites”. As I’m sure you’ve already noticed there are no traditional menu items in the new version of Internet Explorer.

Rest assured, however, that your favorites are still intact. Look for a gold star graphic located at the left of your Internet browser near the top of the window. A simple click of the mouse on that gold star will reveal the favorites you are missing.
