    favorites problem


    this has stumped me good and proper, i`m running windows 7 (64bit) ie8.
    now for some unknown reason to me when i click on my favorites tab it`s showing programs instead of my favorites. all my bookmarks are still in my fav folder but i don`t understand how this has happened.
    any ideas would be a huge help

    Please supply us with a snip to see exactly what you mean.

    How long have you has this problem?

    Have you used a Registry Cleaner / Optimizer?

    Have you a System Restore point created PRIOR to the problem occurring?

    Have you had a Security intrusion lately?

    FYI.
