Links on toolbar disappeared

[kileak]

I have windows xp home. using internet explorer version 6. Last night the links to go to worldnet webmail and the homepage etc. disappeared from the toolbar. It still says links up there, but the little arrows that you click on to drop down the menu are gone. I have no idea what happened. I didn't change anything. Anybody have an idea what happened, or how to get it back. Thanks.

Click on "Favorites" on the menu bar > Point to "Links". Does a submenu come up with links to those websites?

No, the links folder is empty. I don't know how it got emptied.
I even did a system restore to a couple of days ago, and that didn't fix it.

Well, I'm guessing that you erased them permanently. Maybe not, did you check your recycle bin? Maybe there. If not, would it be too much of a strugle to save the links back to the links folder?

 

[kileak]

No, it's not too big of a struggle I reckon. I just can't remember what all links were in the folder, but it's not a big deal.

Yeah, sorry, I couldn't really provide an answer for you.
