    ..And one day, all my favorite links were gone. I use this feature frequently (when opening music directories in winamp, for example), and it is painful to not have. I have no idea when it stopped working, but now when I right click the navigati area in "open file" and select "open favorite links folder", nothing happens (ditto for "restore default favorite links" - could it be that i've unknowingly deleted the "favorite links" folder and need to replace it in order for this to work? Can anyone help? Thanks!

    Try going to C:\users\$username$\Links folder and see if there is anything there or if it is even there.
