Ok, are you referring to your favorites on the browser, or on the actual webpage itself? (MSN homepage, or the OS browser?)

I think you misunderstood. I assume that your favorites were on your task bar on your Internet explorer and not on your page at MSN or Yahoo?
The easiest way to try and fix this is to go to the page or site you want to have as favorite, (MSN/Yahoo) and when you are looking at the site at the place where you want to come back to again, click Favorites on your toolbar at the top of the page. A drop down menu will appear and you then select "Add to favorites" it will then be in your favorites on your Internet explorer next time you start it.
If I have the story wrong, please explain what you need!

Bob.....Thanks for the response....OK...I'll try to explain it the best way I can.......Recently MSN must have changed something because normally I would just click on their butterfly logo and their home page would come up....a few days back, I was prevented from going to their homepage.....when I did get to their homepage (I went to yahoo...then typed in MSN.com) to retrieve my e-mail I noticed there wasn't a favorites across the top....Yahoo still has a favorites but I don't see all the guitar tabs I have saved at MSN favorites......In other words....I had 2 places I was able to save favorites in....Now ...the only favorites I do have is yahoo......I apologize for not making this any clearer.

OH! OH! Now I think I know what you're talking about... you run the newest version of IE with the tabbing function, right?
