I seem to have deleted a folder "My Favorites" from the
favorites. I see that all the entries are in
file "cleaner" in folder c:\Program Files\Microsoft
AntiSpyware. How do I restore it? When I clicked
on "Take me to quarantine", it says "Total quarantined: 0".
Thanks for any help in restoring my folder.

I doubt they are still there, but you can give this a try:
If you specified to Quarantine, rather than to remove, it should be
possible. Tools, Spyware Scan, Manage Spyware Quarantine. Let it sit at that
screen-some persons have mentioned that it took 6 hours for the files to
fill in properly. If/when the files do fill in, once you have restored them
proceed as follows:

Before you restart the machine, move or copy all the files to some other
location--My Documents or an appropriate folder, just as long as you remove
it from there. Reports have stated that stuff disappeared AGAIN after the
reboot.
 
Manny--I'd recommend recovering them from the cleaner.log file.

I'm afraid I don't know how to take a text file such as you will have when
you work with the log file and re-insert it into Favorites, but I suspect
there is probably a way, and in the public IE newsgroup you might find help
doing this.
