An IE reset deletes all favorites?

Hi -
I was in the process of troubleshooting a browser issue for a user. I went to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced and clicked the RESET button. Now all of his favorites are gone. I was under the impression
that the Favorites stayed intact, and according to the info below it should not have been removed. Any ideas what happened?

By resetting Internet Explorer settings, you return it to the state it was in when it was first installed on your computer. This is useful for troubleshooting problems that might be caused by settings that were changed after installation.
When you delete personal settings, some webpages that rely on previously stored cookies, form data, passwords, or previously installed browser add-ons might not work correctly.
Resetting Internet Explorer to its default settings does not delete your favorites , feeds, Web Slices, and a few other personalized settings. See the table below for a complete list of all settings and information about whether
they are reset or maintained.

* * * * I GOT THEM BACK * * * * Originally, I had to fix a corrupt IE9, and chose to 'Reset' it under the 'Advanced' tab. Using a technet article, mind you... now my favorites were missing. After 7 'System Restores' and 'Undos', some UniBlue
PowerSuite registry restores and with all the success of nothing... I went to the C:\Users\<UserName>\Favorites folder, I RIGHT-CLICKED ON IT -> and chose 'Restore Previous Versions', next a dialog screen loaded, and it showed, with a list of
Folder versions and dates. At this point, you can click on a corresponding date, and then cick 'Open'. To my shock and surprise, they were there, I tried 'Restore' which didn't seem to work. So I clicked on the most recent date that had them
all, and 'Selected All' Ctrl-A, and right clicked and chose 'Copy'. Then went into the Favorites folder and chose 'Paste'. Now they're all back. If I left anything out, I'm sure you'll get it, that's the jist of it. I used to work at
Microsoft in Irving for Messaging, but they didn't need me I guess. Maybe because my bosses nickname was the T1000.

How to delete all favorites in here maps at once?

How can i delete all favorites in here maps at once? On my Nokia lumnia 920 maps is not working due long synchronisation time.
Arnold
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do not see any option to do that at once.. You need to delete them one-by-one ...
What if you go to settings (in Maps on your device..) and set 'Synchronise favourites automatically' to OFF?
Other work around is to create a fresh account at here.com and use that as Nokia account on your phone..

Does a factory reset delete all and make the new copy of OS completely fresh?

Hi all, so I forgot my book's passcode and I reset it from the Recovery mode. All is fine, but I was wondering does a factory reset delete all and make the new copy of OS completely fresh? All the chains, registries and all, just like a fresh copy of Windows ? Or did I mixed up all...
P.S. Strange after the factory reset and the system's downloading I got this as apps (of course some are downloaded by me)

does a factory reset delete all and make the new copy of OS completely fresh?
Actually, the "delete all" part is done by your using Disk Utility to erase the partition, as part of your clean install.

Will hard Reseting delete all my data?

I need to know this fast I'm about to hard reset my HP Pavilion g6 because the IDT Audio and wireless connection button aren't working. Will this delete all my memory? *I have a lot of pictures and programs*
This question was solved.

No it will not....hard reset is simply hold down power button 30 seconds with no power supply attached. It is not the same as a cell phone reset.

Windows installer deletes user favorites on Drive D

Much of Windows 8.1 reinstalling Windows in a User-preferred way is great, but it can backfire, badly. Windows 8.1 Full Version (Pro) cleaned Drive C using DiskPart.exe as per usual and installed Windows 8.1 to Drive C. During installation Windows installer
specifically targeted and deleted all Favorites from Drive D where all user file copies are stored between installations. No other user files were deleted.
Related? Favorites was included in Windows 8.0/early 8.1 personal folders, and is no longer located there: all personal folders including Favorites were typically moved to Drive D disk, including Favorites from C:\Users\Favorites, when it was removed from
Personal Folders (Regedit, namespace keys). On the one occasion where Windows installer mistakenly deleted Drive D favorites, Windows installer was replacing a Windows installation where favorites were uniquely copied to Drive C default location, rather
than being moved to Drive D. This was the only occasion when Windows installer 'attacked' user files, and this was the only occasion where my Microsoft Windows 8.1 Account 'experienced' favorites being copied from another drive to the C drive (rather than
the usual folder properties Location change).
First, has anyone else been effected by this bug (irregularity)? Second, since Windows reinstallation is 'pre-empting' and making decisions concerning user data, Should not the Account interface provide a way for the User to manage what is otherwise
reckless installer behavior (other than the end-game Start screen Account layout Synch, obviously)? Minor Registry bug, or new installer functionality surfacing?

Kate Li,
Thank you for your interest. Did I note that R & D engineers from three Teams (setup, activation, security) have been looking at my machine?
Microsoft account server restores favorites after 3 days
PROBLEM... Three days after Windows 8.1 OS installation deleted my Favortites (see above), Microsoft Account server restored the files that Windows Setup mistakenly deleted. Set aside 5 hours + to integrate finally restored favorites. Thanks people,
kindly continue reading.
Open Internet Explorer.
Right click top bar to show Favorites. Click top right corner favorites star.
Drag and drop new address bar links onto star to place in root "Favorites" folder. Favorites folder links must be manually removed one-by-one using right click. Links can also be dragged between folders.
(note that contents of "Favorites bar" folder are displayed across top of browser window when Favorites bar is showing. "Favorites bar" is shown in the Favorites Star dropdown. When "Favorites" toolbar is selected, "Favortites
bar" toolbar should be a Favorites toolbar dropdown menu-tree explored and well-adapted in Vista+ versions, but hidden in Windows 8.1 since Favorites is removed and replaced by just "Favorites bar". When "Favorites bar" toolbar
is selected, existing 2013 Windows 8.1 favorites toolbar shows. This unique favorites architecture easily added to existing Windows Internet Explorer will offer huge customer benefits...
(note that each drag-and-drop Favorites Star menu action immediately closes menu as if there was only one action to perform! Internet Explorer Favorites Star drop menu is missing a standard active-x functionality built into Windows, and
very oddly missing from the Star menu. Favorites Star drop menu should lock in place until star is clicked to close, so that users can select and maintain multiple links using copy, move, delete actions without the menu constantly closing after each desktop
(office) action...
So two things for R & D to fix.
1.) Add "Favorites" on top of "Favorites bar" to browser top bar right right-click options, adding options to open in File Explorer or add-remove from toolbar display.
2.) Adapt current Favorites Star drop menu to include missing active-X Click-To-Close action, for easy favorites links and folders management... without (#$$$) slamming after every mouse action, interrupting work-flow!!!
WORKAROUND.
Windows browser Favorites benefit from extensive OS security oversight. One unfortunate result of this oversight is that large favorites collections in fact destabilize the entire Operating System. Oversight also means
that favorites management is exceedingly cumbersome.
We have implemented two advanced but helpful Favorites customizations that allow user to open two or more important link folders in File Explorer, so that links can be reasonably managed: one folder is the default C:\Users\Favorites folder and the other
folder is a large collection of personal links (personal links folder contains an archive of over 2,000 Internet links (a quantity far too large for Windows to store in default oversight Favorites location). Here now are the two folder path links added to
the Favorites Star root folder (using File Explorer to create and add the links manually to the default Favorites folder):
C:\Users\username\Favorites
Drive:\archive folder name
Drive:\another archive folder name
Due to Microsoft's favorites oversight preoccupation, security for archived links in other local locations is simply managed by traditional Windows Defender or third party security.
Outside of the Internet Favorites folder security zone, in regular User folders. The oversight zone is extremely helpful in front-end Internet applications. However, Users require more default flexibility
in management of a system-wide local favorites. The two-plus folder customization described above offers advanced users quick and easy customization,
for the existing Favorites architecture only. Change is coming!
The click-to-close Favorites Star Menu is needed.
"Favorites" and "Favorites bar" right click top bar accessalso further implements existing security, customer easy-of-use, and work-flow.

I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Both iTunes and the phone say that 2.1 gigs are being used, even though the phone now has nothing on it. What is going on?

Deleted "All" from Favorites Bar in Mail

I accidentally deleted "All" From the Favorites Bar in Mail. This allowed me to view all my mail in all my mailboxes at one time. How do I add that feature back in? It's not in the menu on the left.

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date, is there a way to get it all back?

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?

If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.

IPod deletes all files every time it resets; stuck in restore-recovery loop

I have a major problem with my 120GB iPod classic, which was working perfectly until yesterday (it barely even had a scratch on it). I was playing my iPod normally when it suddenly froze. No problems there, this occasionally happens so I simply reset it as I normally do when it freezes (Menu+Centre buttons); but then I noticed something was wrong - the Apple logo reset screen remained for much longer than usual (usually after about 10 seconds it switches on back to normal). I left the iPod on my desk for about a minute, and it eventually switched on back to normal - however I was greeted by the 'Welcome' page to select a language, and all my music etc has been deleted!
I've tried everything to get this iPod working normally again - when I restore (even when using disk mode); the iTunes tells me it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored, however I've restored several times and the iTunes insists it is still in recovery mode. I've also tried changing the drive letter and formatting via the PC, but to no avail. I have also noticed that every time the iPod is ejected and it says 'OK to disconnect', it resets instead of switching on... and every time it resets, it erases all the data all over again and the 'Welcome' screen returns...
In short, the problem seems to be that the iPod is interpreting 'reset' and as a complete reboot - it keeps on resetting itself completely.
What can I do? I'm slowly going insane

a detail which I may have overlooked is, I have a suspicion that the iPod is not even being restored at all; the iPod simply resets (and deletes all the data while doing so) during a restore; therefore its not even allowing me to do a restore!
