For a week or so, my "media" folder has been missing from my Bookmarks list. It's a long folder, so I did not want to reenter all the URLs. I followed the troubleshooting info and checked all the bookmark backup files. No joy. I also ran a word search for "Media". No relevant hits. Neither "explorer" nor "Total Commander" could find the profile Folder. They did find a "Favorites" folder which included the lost folder. Is there any easy way for me to "reload" the lost folder? Also, there was a reference to Norton 360 - could it be the problem? I wouldn't think it would affect only one folder.

IE stores favorites as separate files and folders on the hard drive. Firefox stores all the bookmarks and history in one SQLite database file called places.sqlite, so you won't find anything if you do a search on your hard drive.
