Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / November 2007

I have been building my Favorites file for years - I do a lot of browsing &
research - and have/had a very large number of folders & single "favorites".  
Today it was blank, and I do not remember doing anything unusual, except
checking for IE7 Updates - there were none.  When I clicked on Organize, all
the items ever saved are there.  I am using IE7, version 7.0.5730.11.  I have
Nortons Systemworks 2007, but GoBack is not installed (it gave me problems).  
Any help with figuring out what happened and a fix is greatly appreciated.
I have been "self teaching" on a PC since 1998 (turned 70 last Saturday!) so
may not know too much technical lingo.

Thanx
