I cannot locate my Yahoo bookmarks since a change to the layout.

* Original Title: Windows 10 and yahoo bookmarks

I cannot locate my Yahoo bookmarks since a change to the layout of -- mail youtube bookmarks etc which occurred 1 August 2016. Have searched Mozilla Firefox Edge Chrome without success.  I have "had" about 72 sites listed under headings that I understood.  Many sites were only used occasionally.

Have tried  searching in many places and the closest I get is answers for "favorites" which is not my problem.

I have a fairly good understanding of systems but this one has beaten me.  Hoping someone knows a way to solve for me.

Hi Ray,

I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with missing favorites. Regret the inconvenience you have experienced.

Are you referring to the Favorites stored with Internet Explorer?

Did you logged in with temporary profile? Go to Settings --> Sync my settings.  See if a message in red mark as "You

are logged in with a temporary profile" listed there.

Before you come up with the above information, let me confirm that if you have selected Keep My files and Settings during upgrade, then it will never wipe your files and settings. However check for the missing files in the below mentioned locations.

If you see any of the files or favorites missing post upgrade to windows 10, then mostly probably you can find them in Windows.Old folder in your system drive. Go to C:\Windows.Old and search for missing files. Also navigate to C:\Users\User Profile and see if you're able to find the missing profile with files there. In both cases you can use search bar on top to locate the missing files. Example: If the User Profile name is computer when you were in previous OS, then the path will be C:\Users\computer.

Note: "User Profile" in the path will be name of your user account. Moreover click and expand View ribbon on top of the menu and select Hidden items check box.

Keep us posted if you require further assistance.

The answer supplied related to Favorites. My enquiry was for Bookmarks.  I have been able to add Bookmarks to Mozilla Firefox but it is not as convenient as Bookmarks on Windows 7 Home. This required me to create a new list - lucky I had saved my list of 75 -  I had to enter them one at a time - name then the URL.

It would be convenient if Bookmarks could also be in list format on Edge,Chrome Yandex etc.

Thank you for trying to help me.  Ray
