Is this a contest to see how well we can solve a problem with as little
information as possible?
IE version?
Windows version and Service Pack level?
What third party security programs do you have running?

Re: Favourites are missing...
Try these 2 tips:

Favorites Missing and/or
Change the Location for Favorites

Go to this Registry key and check the path for the value "Favorties":

Windows XP:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Favorites"="C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Favorites"

Windows Vista:

In the Start Menu's Search box, or in the Run command, enter: shell:Favorites
The folder should be recreated immediately, if not then after a restart.


Favorites Menu is Missing or Greyed Out

Go to these Registry keys and, if found, delete the value "NoFavorites"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\policies\Internet Explorer]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\policies\Internet Explorer]
