I have lost my favorites. What should I do now?

Typically, there is no need to worry. Every time you read in your favorites, Favorites Explorer makes a backup. So, unless something did seriously go wrong, you should still have a copy of how your favorites looked previously.

To retrieve a copy, select the "open backup" option in the "File" menu.

Backups are saved in the Dutch Duck\Favorites subdirectory of your Application Data subdirectory. (You can find where this directory is by choosing the Show specialfolders option in the help menu.)
