<![CDATA[Opera bookmarks don't show up in User profile]]>I have a Dell desktop running Windows 7. I tried using Dell's Support Assistant to clean up my files. My computer now runs faster. I still see all my Opera bookmarks, but my backup program says the files for the Opera bookmarks are not there. Windows doesn't show it, but strangely a Windows search does show it!

iDrive wouldn't restore it because it is a program file. It also says "Files already present in the restore location: 1. Files restored now: 0.

I am concerned that the bookmarks might be in memory and I will lose all of them if I reboot my computer. I did make an .html backup of the bookmarks using Opera.

What can I do now?

I use Opera as my main browser because those thumbnails make it easiest for me to find my favorites.

I'll keep an eye out for that. What I realized with my backup program is that I told it to backup everything with "Bookmarks" in it. When it didn't see the .bak file it refused to do the backup. So I just eliminated that one file from the backup routine and made it happy.

BookmarksExtra is basically the bookmarks thumbnails.

Not that smart. So will Opera recreate the backup file? If so, how and when?

I was expecting bookmarks to be the name of a folder. It is actually located in a file below all the folders. However, it doesn't have an extension, even though I elected to have all the extensions showing. Also, why would BookmarksExtras be over fifteen times large than Booksmarks?
