Edit: Well it seems as though you're unlucky because apparently this happens when you turn off the computer (I know it wasn't your fault) while Firefox is running. Do you logon as Simon always or do you logon with Administrator from time to time? If you use other logons check the same directory with different logons. To make it easier, login with Administrator (if that's the account you use other than Simon) and then: Click Start > Run (Or hold down the windows button and press 'R') then type: %appdata% and hit enter Now open Mozilla > Firefox > Profiles and check in each profile if there is a bookmarks.html file that is bigger than 4kb. Also check the Recycle Bin for a bookmarks.html file. Your last hope is a tad complicated. Go Start > Run and type chkdsk and hit enter Once it finishes running. You need to search your windows directory for any .chk files. They will usually be called FILE001.CHK or something similar. Go start > find > all files and folders and type in *.chk For look in: Type in C:\windows for Windows XP or C:\winnt for Windows 2000. Now go to the first file (assuming you find any) and right click > open with and open it with Notepad. Check to see if there is any links/html type stuff, the beginning will look like: <!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1> <!-- This is an automatically generated file. It will be read and overwritten. If there is, close the file and rename it bookmarks1.html and then use Firefox to incorporate it (in Firefox, Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks > Import.. > browse to the bookmarks1.html file) Keep going through the .chk files until you find it. If not there's really nothing you can do. A good idea is to regularly save bookmarks.html onto some webspace online so that if you ever reformat or your computer crashes you've still got a copy. Good luck. [Updated on: Sat, 03 December 2005 03:27] [Report message to a moderator]
