In the process of clicking around to update the Word normal.dot template, I
seem to have accidentally changed an obscure (to me) setting. Suddenly, the
Internet Explorer 6.0 Favorites panel displayed on the left side of the IE
screen is completely empty. I tried deactivating it and reactivating it via
View-Explorer Bar-Favorites. I tried closing and reopening IE. I tried
restarting the computer. Still nothing in the Favorites panel.
I tried to recreate one of the (now invisible) folders I sort Favorites
into, but the system will not allow it because it says a folder by that name
already exists. I checked, and there is indeed data in the Favorites folder
under Documents and Settings. So I exported and re-imported the Favorites.
Still nothing in the panel. Upon further checking, I see that if I click the
Add... button, all the invisible favorites are on the list (but not in the
panel itself), but if I click the Organize... button, none are shown.
I have not installed any new software recently, and everything was fine
until I started searching for normal.dot. No doubt it's some simple little
thing, but I have no clue where to look.
I'd appreciate any suggestions on what settings to check.
Thank you.
