My friend Heidi has been telling me that she has not been able to “get on the internet” for a week. I’ve put that in quotes because I think that can have many different meanings. For example, it could be a problem with:
- their wireless network
- their internet service provider
- their modem
- their web browser
After talking to her hubs, I realize that there are many things going on, one of which makes for a great post. Geoff, Heidi’s hubs, can’t find his yahoo toolbar, music, and for our purposes, his favorites. So, how do you find yours’ if they suddenly disappear?
You can look in your user profile:
- Click on the “My Computer”
icon on your desktop - Click on the hard drive (C)
- Click on the “Documents and Settings”
- Your “Favorites” folder should be there
- Click on the folder to make sure your favorite websites are really there
If, you can’t find them there, you can do a search
- Click on the “My Computer” icon on your desktop
- Click on the hard drive (c)
- At the top of the page is a “Search” icon, click on it
- Click on “All Files and Folders”
- Type in “Favorites” under the file name and click search
I’m going to be heading over to do this and find the ellusive favorites that are causing angst for Geoff and Heidi. I’ll let you know how it goes.
By the way, your favorites should be under your user profile in documents and settings (see first example). If they are not in that folder, your favorites may not be accessible from your internet browser (just like Geoff).
