Using MS Internet Explorer V11. OS is Windows 7 64-bit. No problem for 2+ years now, but suddenly the shortcuts in my Favorites list are getting corrupted. Not all at once, just one here and there. If I right-click on a corrupted Favorite link and select “Properties,” the “General” tab shows that the type of file is “Internet Shortcut (url)”, which seems fine. But the “Web Document” tab that contains the actual link is missing completely.
This appears to have happened several times now, one link at a time. I can delete the Favorite link and replace it by going to the website and then clicking/dragging the URL to the Favorites list, after which everything’s fine (for that link).
So what gives?
