    It would be easier to just re bookmark all the sites if the folder isn't in the recycle bin.

    Here's a good way to keep your bookmarks

    Download Firefox
    Use Google Browser Sync
    Done.

    Your not getting them back if they arent in your trash bin.

    One last thing you can check but I doubt they are there..

    My computer/c: drive/document and settings/(the username you log in with)/then if you see favorites there, if you dont, then you are SOL baby...

    thanks for the help every1, got em back.

    Well actually didnt get them back completely.... I was on AIM triton when I "deleted them"... apparently when "AIM today" is open, I go under favs. and click manage favs. theres a thing that says "Leabadbaby69s portable favs."..... I cant see any favs or click anything but apparently when I roll the cursur over it, it says that they are favs. stored in my AOL account? This just keeps getting better and better.
