    where had gone my pinned folders??
    i know that is not so hard to put folders back,
    but why they are disapiered

    thx :)

    sorry for my crappy english


    Solutions:

    1.
    Jump Lists - Reset and clear All Items

    2.
    go to folder
    %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
    %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations


    and in both folder find this file:
    1b4dd67f29cb1962.automaticDestinations-ms
    and delete it
    Restart or Logoff
    pin al folders back and the problem shouldn't come back for a good time

    Pinned and toolbar is the same - exactly the same amount of clicks. No idea why you lost them. Given that experience, I would not do it again that way. But that is your choice. It may be fun to redo those shortcuts every week - LOL.

    one user on a tracker said :
    go to folder
    %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
    %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations


    and in both folder find this file:
    1b4dd67f29cb1962.automaticDestinations-ms
    and delete it
    Restart or Logoff
    pin al folders back and the problem shouldn't come back for a good time :)
    if this is true i put the problem solved :)

    how is my english?

    Trolic,

    Yep, that would work if it was just corruption as a cause. Option Two in the tutorial I posted above will do that automatically for you. Afterwards, you could add them back. :)
