Missing bookmarks in Netscape ...

Try the other guy's suggestion of using your History first.

If Netscape stores bookmarks in a file and you've erased that file, you could try an 'UNDELETE' utility to bring it back. If you download an UNDELETE, be sure to save it to a floppy so you don't overwrite the space on your hard drive.

If Netscape stores bookmarks in a file and you've emptied that file, make a copy of the emptied file. Try looking inside the file with a text editor such as NOTEPAD and see if you can cut and paste the URLs you find. Often emptied files are not compressed, but just MARKED as empty.

Again, how Netscape stores this information will determine your approach to recovering it.

I don't use Netscape, so I can't be specific.

Cheers, PW.

P.S. Many moons ago, I used Netscape 3.0 with Win31. The bookmarks were stored in a file C:\NETSCAPE\BOOKMARK.HTM on that machine. This was a text file and readable with NOTEPAD. You can use FIND to see if a file like this exists.
