what happened to my IE7 favorites?

I had IE7 before this install of Vista - still have IE7 according to
help - about. Why does the browser window look different? I dont
recall seeing "live search" before this install.

most important, where are the hundred or so favorites and bookmarks
that I had in my browser? These are important to me. Why did the Vista
install trash them?

thanks,

-Steve

Steve, if you have a folder called Windows.old, look in there..
