Windows 10: I've now lost my Favourites folder on my Desktop screen. WIn10

Noel Burgess (¡Firedog) has been hugely helpful with a similar problem HERE. He provided me with many dos codes (is that the right term?) such as the one below so that I could look for pictures. He did a similar one for missing documents.



dir /s c:\*.jpg > %userprofile%\findpics.txt && start %userprofile%\findpics.txt


Sid's Law has again kicked in and when I went just now to open my Favourites folder on my desktop screen, I found it's empty apart from two dated 23rd January. My WUs were on the 8th and the 31st January so it hasn't been caused by them.


For anyone who hasn't got such a Favourites folder, it's where I keep screen prints of favourite articles eg where an expert here has answered a problem.


Can Noel or one of his expert colleagues give me a dos code to search for "Favourites" please?


Looking on the bright side, at least I'll have an excuse for not shifting snow.

Windows 10 My Favourites list is gone!

I have loaded up Windows 10 and my favourites list is gone. This is pretty frustrating as I had a big list of favourites built up over a couple of years for work and my own personal browsing. I tried the adive offered by Krishna to Maggie in the forum which
was:

"I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps to restore the favourites.

• Click This PC
• Type %userprofile% into the Address bar
• Press Enter on your keyboard
• Right click the Favorites folder
• Click Properties
• Click Previous Versions
• Wait for the list of previous versions to load
• Select a version that was before you lost the files/folders
• Click Restore."

When I got to step 6 my previous versions list showed only today. Surely the loading of Windows 10 has not wiped out my Favourites? What can I do from here?
