If I remember right you were helping me with a lame ass article I had written.

Seems about right. But 20 years ago, it wasn't lame ass!

A good 11 years for me already
I've been doing this for 12 years and signed up on CP after about half a year
I remember reading an article by HenryMinute, who unfortunately passed away.
After reading it I signed up to ask him a question about it and he answered pretty quickly and was helpful.
My first message on CP and absolutely noob question is right here under this article: Designing Nested Controls[^]

Over 16 years for me...
CP is the oldest Website in my life and I think of it like a marriage (until death separate us).

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I've been a "lurker" for many years. Can count on one hand the number of times I've responded/contributed. However, I REALLY appreciate being able to see these posting daily, especially since I've been WFH for the last 3+ years (pre-covid).
I am definitely a "grey beard" started developing with paper tape - almost miss those days, NOT.

I started with puNch cards but it was really expensive for me because I had 2 kids that I had to entertain when I went to computer room and they used a lot of them.

Oh yes, punch cards. They made the best and worst confetti (they are really hard to vacuum up again....)
|

I worked as a computer operator while attending college and we had a woman COBOL programmer bring in a box of cards to be run and one of the other operators dropped the box. We apologized profusely and gave them back to her to reorganize, she was upset but understanding.
When she gave them back I dropped them and then she was pissed. I offered to help but she refused. I felt like crap!

I deleted my Microsoft Edge profile and since I do not do any online sync etc, I do not know where to recover by favourites from. Does anyone know where on disk Edge stores it? I would expect it to be somewhere here and looking into it. But in case someone knows I can do this faster: C:\Users\MyWindowsUser\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data
Update
I gave up and enabled sync to a google account.

Should be in
...\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default
the "Bookmarks" file.
|
|
|
|
|
There is no Default folder there. And the only bookmarks file (not a folder) I see in user data is empty.

Someone has to say it...
Restore it from last night's backup.
Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994. So does this signature. me, 2012

I don't think folks at my office would like to do this for a bookmark file.

I think it is kind of a weird path:
C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Snapshots\101.0.1210.39\Default
// I guess that 101.0.1210.39 is the version number so check yours
there is a Bookmarks file in there...
snapshot of the folder --
https://i.stack.imgur.com/2G0Wl.png[^]
I'm fairly sure that will be a Sqlite file. I'm checking on it now to see (will let you know).
UPDATE
Looks like the Bookmarks file is basically JSON -- snippet...
{
"date_added": "13252084155113895",
"guid": "3eb09616-b2d8-4da8-98f1-5f1dbad21bad",
"id": "30",
"name": "Information About the IIS File Transmission Protocol (FTP) Service",
"show_icon": false,
"source": "import_fre",
"type": "url",
"url": "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283679"
}, {
Update 2
Oh, also saw it up date Bookmarks file in:
C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default
I see there are Bookmarks.bak in there too.
I added google.com & saw it update the Bookmarks file:
"children": [ {
"date_added": "13299089499366901",
"guid": "15938707-b5f5-4bf2-b48e-0f0a2e149394",

Looks so promising but I see nothing. I think I know what might have happened. I created a new profile to see where goes what for a profile and it create the profile with same name as the one I deleted. Thus, everything is gone. I did manage to redo all the work. I had like 10 bookmarks and I lost my Quantum computing book link. Other than that I think I have it all.

In my opinion, your biggest blunder was using MS Edge at all. /s

Much chirping around nifty crain (10)
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP
