Solved Restoring files and folders after system restore?

First Post:D

I currently am using vista 64 bit premium operating system. I have completed a system restore and when I try to save or view my favorites folder it does not work? After the restore I found my "favorites" folder in my "downloads" folder. When I try to use the "favorites" shortcut I can view my history, but my favorites are blank? If I go to my "favorites" folder in my "downloads" folder the favorites I have saved show up in there, but I cannot open them? Help?

Hello JALG, and welcome to Vista Forums.

A System Restore does not always affect user files; it's mostly for system files.

Using Method Two in this tutorial below, check to make sure that your Favorites (Name) folder is set with it's default location of %USERPROFILE%\Favorites (Data).

Hope this helps,
