Hi,
May be If you need to restore files or folders, run Backup and Restore by opening Start menu (press Ctrl+Esc on your keyboard) and typing "backup" into Search box chekc this Restore files and folders and also this similar thread Favorites disappeared in windows 8 which may assist you with some idea or try with recovery software.
Hope this helps.
I tried to cut and paste my "favorites folder" to my desktop. The folder did not appear on the desktop. Now I cannot locate the folder. I took this action a couple weeks ago. The folder is not in the Recycle Bin. Is there a way to recover it?
