Hello All, I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem. My IE jump list refuses to show the history section. It worked fine until about a month ago. I've tried all the usual fixes that I'm finding on the web including: uncheck/recheck "store and display recently..." checkboxes in...

I am running Vista Home Ultimate. I have had a number of files, mostly jpegs disappear. They are not in the Recycle bin and I did not deliberately delete them. The only thing I have done that is unusual is to clear out the "Recent Items" list. Could that have deleted the files?
