Deleted a folder in my Favourites by mistake....

I know, I know, should have had a back up. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, how stupid do I feel?

Is there any way of getting it back? It's not in my deleted items.....HELP!!! (please....:o)

    I use a free program called Recuva - it is fantastic in getting back deleted files from practically an media provided it has not been written over. See http://www.recuva.com/

    Okay, I've just downloaded that but it only appears to give me the option of recovering files on the PC, does it do Saved links in Favourites?

    Do you do a back up? If so it will probably be lurking in the back up of the users file.
