I was having computer problems and only way to fix it was to reinstall windows vista. Doing so, it takes all my previous saved data(as in my music and pictures) and puts them in a folder called "Windows.old." So i had to reinstall everything back to my computer, as if its fresh new yet still having my previous saved data. I had alot of websites bookmarked, important ones like for school and work. Is there any way to restore my previous bookmarks?
