I had a major crash a few months and was able to retrieve all my files by using Recuva, TG. However I would really like to get my favoites list back becaus I had alot of llinks that I need for school. Is there any way for me to get these back? I use Yahoo browser.
thanks,
Lori
Yahoo browser? Is this one of those IE browsers that says "IE powered by(Brand here)" type of deals? This should be in the Recuva section as well.

I am unaware of a Yahoo Browser. Do you have a link? Or did you simply set your browser to Yahoo?
It would help to know what Windows version + the Browser you used.
Since we do not have those to go on, I am making the assumption you use Yahoo as your homepage.

Internet Explorer favorites (under Windows XP):
Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\*Insert your user name here*\Favorites
Also, you can download -> http://locate32.net/files/daily/ Get the 2cd zip file from the top & install/run it the first time. Update it with the drive containing your recovered files.
Try searching under extensions for URL & also LNK files (the defaults Internet Explorer uses for shortcuts). You do not need to put a dot in front of URL or LNK to search.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Firefox (under Windows XP):
Firefox stores it's favorites as bookmarks in the Firefox Profile.
C:\Documents and Settings\*Insert your user name here*\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Move your current user profile & copy the old one to the Firefox Profile directory. Firefox will pick up all your old settings.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Use the old profile if you want, or use Moz Backup to backup the Bookmarks + passwords & then re-import them to your newer user profile.
If you have already started a new set of bookmarks, back these up using Moz Backup before beginning, as it will overwrite your current settings with the new ones you import.
Let us know if this helped.

P.S. It may be easier to set Recuva to tree view under options, if you need to rescan a drive to recover entire folder contents such as a favorites folder or Firefox Profile folder.
If it's the BT version of the Yahoo browser I'm surprised you are still able to use it

Off topic: Just a warning i went around to fix my dads pc a few months ago. They was using BT yahoo browser. It is the most un secure piece of crap i have ever seen. I would replace it immediately. I would suggest installing firefox or opera
