If you did a clean install and still have your "old system folder" your
favorites will be in >old system folder> preferences> explorer>
favorites.html. Simply drop this file into your new system> preferences>
explorer folder and you'll be back in business. If you didn't do a clean
install, it should still be in your system folder. I guess you wouldn't
have lost your favorites. If you use Netscape you can simply copy
bookmarks.html from Netscape users>"your profiles name" , change the name of
the file from bookmarks.html to favorites.html, drop it in the same folder
and again you're in business. If I had a dime for every time I lost one or
the other...
