IE 7 is Killing my bookmarks!!

**nekrosoft13** · 10-22-06, 09:19 PM

WTF, starting with IE7 Final, IE started to kill my bookmarks.

its pretty random, but bookmark is still there, but somehow gets corrupted

in .url files the Web Document tab disapears.

its driving my nuts!!

Hey, I think I had that happen last week...

Can IE 7 be uninstalled easily?

**nekrosoft13** · 10-22-06, 09:51 PM

yes it can

i would like to keep IE7, but it better stop killing my ****ing bookmarks

i tried making all bookmarks read-only, it doesn't help

I had this very problem with IE7 when I first downloaded the beta for it months ago. But it didn't do it after that one time. And the Vista version of IE7 hasn't done it once yet (I've been using vista all the time now for a few weeks). So yeah, it was kind of frustrating. It killed close to 20 of my bookmarks. But only the once

god damn it just killed two more of my bookmarks

Kill it!! Kill it now before it's too late!

Does it delete bookmarks in custom subfolders as well as just the general bookmark?

**nekrosoft13** · 10-23-06, 06:27 AM

it doesn't delete them

it removes the Web Document tab in properties, so the bookmark is there, but its blind, doesn't know where it supposed to be pointing to

Hi all..am experiencing this bookmark corruption too..happens on my desktop and laptop, from rc1 to final..random bookmarks, extremely irritating! Have to completely make a new bookmark and replace it..

Searched for the problem..taught i was the only one, thank god im not alone..

And help/ideas extremely welcome..Thanks all

Cheers

making bookmarks read-only slowed it down, but still happens

before it was about 5-8 booksmarks a day, now its about 1-2 booksmarks a day

Make sure you have all the latest updates from http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate, also if you have the beta version of IE7, install the final release from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/
