Disappearing favourites in IE5

by andy32 . Updated 25 years, 11 months ago

If you upgrade your browser from IE3 to IE5, all links contained within c:\windows\favourites are lost. If you backup your favourites folder prior to upgrading, IE5 still removes all links after you have copied them back into your c:\windows\favourites directory. I have now started to find IE5 installations which if you add a particular link in to your favourites folder, IE5 will loose this link once the browser has been closed down and re-started. Is there any Microsoft documentation that explains this, or does anyone have an top regedit fix that will resolve these problems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers,

Andy
