Files and Internet favorites have disappeared

All my files in the folder my documents have disappeared and so have my internet Favorites.  I have not recently made anything out of an ordinary day, that they were simply not there.  I have a G60 with Vista and use Kaspersky.  The strange thing is that if I open Word, some of my documents is still listed under recent documents.  I can open and edit them but they are not where in the folder my documents (I could re - save in the documents folder, but are not my other folders, which one where this doc would always be there).   Help, please.

Hello

Maybe it's your records have become hidden from the operating system.

A handy utility to view all the files on your PC is called Commander free of charge, on the link below, because it shows files that the operating system normally hides, or which have become hidden and has a search function.

http://www.SnapFiles.com/PHP/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10

It is a zipped file.  If you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip , which can be used to open it so that you can run the Setup program.

When it is installed, run the application and use it to browse to where your files should be and see if they are actually still there.

Kind regards

  • My laptop crashed and when I turned it back to firefox was updated and my favorites have disappeared

    I tried a few ways of troubleshooting, I saw in earlier questions with the firefox profile folder and the file places.sqlite, but none of that worked, is it possible for me to get my favorites?

    Hello

    It seems that you have updated to the version of the developer, so please see this support article:

  • I use firefox 16 on windows 7 with Xmarks and now all of my favorites have disappeared.

    I recently started using Xmarks with Firefox 16 on Windows 7 platform. I got some kind of error message (I think only of Xmarks) about "bookmarks". I clicked on the message to solve the problem and zapp all my favorites have disappeared. I found my profile "bookmarksbackup" file but can not open it. I guess I need a JSON Viewer. I downloaded an opensource Viewer that looked good, but still not get anything that looks remotely to my old favorites. I thought I might be the victim of a virus, but I'm probably just the victim of my ignorance.

    In addition, if the bookmarksbackup files folder it contains, you can try to restore one of it via Firefox Bookmarks (Alt + B) > show all bookmarks > import and backup. See also this.

    Alternatively, you can also check your account of Xmarks for bookmarks. If it had been transferred successfully in the past, you can install Xmarks, connect to Xmarks Firefox, and then download the backup.

  • As soon as I opened the Firefox Start Page, all my favorites have been posted on the left side. I accidentally hit something, and now all my favorites have disappeared. Help.

    As soon as I opened the Firefox Start Page, all my favorites have been posted on the left side. I accidentally hit something, and now all my favorites have disappeared.

    For your safety, you must do a lot of software updates. You may be holding back for some reason any. Let us know what it is because there may be a fix or workaround now.

    To update to the 19 of Firefox, you can use the "Check for updates" button here:

    Menu help > about Firefox

    To update your Adobe PDF and Shockwave Flash plugins and check for other obsolete plugins, you can use this page:

    https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/pluginCheck/

    I know it's tedious, but don't let slip too long or you might get up to have to rebuild everything (the curse of your lack of backups, and if you do regular backups).

  • I installed 4.0 and all my favorites were there, so I uninstalled 3.6, reopened 4.0 and all my favorites have disappeared.

    I installed Firefox 4.0 and all my favorites were there, so I uninstalled 3.6, reopened 4.0 and all my favorites have disappeared.

    This has happened

    Just once or twice

    Is today

    Sorry, it seems that you have selected the option to remove my Firefox personal data and customizations when you uninstalled Firefox 3.6. This option removes all the personal data for all versions of Firefox you have installed.

    Any chance that you made a backup of these data?

  • The menu AND the bookmarks have disappeared

    The menu and all the Favorites have disappeared from my screen. 'Show the bookmarks toolbar' is checked, and bookmarks are listed, but not on my screen. And no menu item (file, publishing, display, etc.). Fixing these articles are overwhelming.

    You see your tab bar showing the tabs of the pages you have open?

    If Yes: you can turn on the menu bar by double-clicking an empty area of the tab bar, or right click on the new tab button ('+') and select the menu bar.

    If not: could check you if Firefox is in full screen mode? The F11 key toggles between the normal modes and full screen.

    Any progress?

    On missing bookmarks. Those on the menu and on the toolbar are two separate lists, so it is normal that you don't seem to menu bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar. However, normally there is a button on the main toolbar with a button that comes down to your bookmarks. It looks like a Clipboard and is right next to a star. You can find this one?

  • Some favorites have disappeared from my bookmarks bar (after the update?)

    Basically, the question says it all.

    All of a sudden a lot of my favorites have disappeared from my bookmarks bar. I can't find them anywhere.

    I used to have many of them, some in directories/folders, some 'free' - but never more than two branches down.

    If you open the dialog box (Ctrl + Shift + b) library and explore there, can you find in a strange place?

    If they're really gone, it is possible that the database file that stores the bookmarks and history is corrupted. COR - el has a few suggestions for it here: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/956965#answer-428511

    Alternatively, you can immediately make a backup copy of your folder bookmarkbackups. This folder can be placed using:

    Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

    I suggest you copy (not move, simply copy) the folder bookmarkbackups set to another location, such as your Documents or a USB flash drive. In this way time passes, you will always have older backups to restore if necessary.

    Some of the icons in front of my favorites have disappeared. Others are still there. What can I do to get back them?

    Try to restore with this extension:

    If this does not help then it is possible that there is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

    You must use CheckPlaces once after you remove files in places.

    Hello
    Your computer is probably infected by malicious software. Some malware will hide all the icons and shortcuts on your computer. To make your icons visible again, download Unhide.
     
    Once downloaded, double-click display and let it run. It removes the attribute hidden on all files and try to restore the icons on the Start Menu to their location.
    Then try following steps 1 and 2 in this virus/malware removal guide: http://www.selectrealsecurity.com/malware-removal-guide
    It contains instructions which will remove the malware more. If you have any questions, just ask me. I hope this helps you.

    Try these steps and check if that helps:

    ** Turn it back on. Sometimes a reboot will solve this problem.* *.

    1. close all programs and stop the laptop.

    2. remove all power supplies (battery and power cord)

    3. empty the remaining power by pressing the power on button for 30 seconds (even if you have no power).

    4. put the battery back and start the computer

    5. once fully loaded, right-click on the system tray and select Properties.

    6. This will bring to the top of the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" dialog box. The "Notification area" tab.

    7. at the bottom of the tab, is the area 'icons systems. " There is a checkbox for "Power". "check" the box and click on apply or OK.

    Also update your graphics card drivers.

    It works! Tanks a lot Johnny D.81!
