Windows issue! Need an expert.

Does windows store Favorites records in some back place that you can recall which favorites you had at one point, even after you have deleted them?

Does something store a record of them having been there or have a trace left of what the sites were?

I think it only saves them in your current user profile under

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Favorites

In my time working with windows I have never seen another backup type location. Aside of course from windows system restore if you know when you deleted the favorites.

Yea, yesterday! 8)

Yea, i'm looking for anything that will give me a trace of what the sites were. I thought maybe the registry or something would have something left over from making the favorites. Then maybe i could artifically restore the folder. I thought i ran into something like that sometime ago. But i cant remember where it was. I'm guessing there are a few places in the XP i could find it. I just dont know where they are.

I think i keep my system restore off at all times though.

Yea favorites are just shortcut files it reads from a folder - I dont think they are anywhere else.
