Hi,
Sorry do differ with Jim, as he is considerably more learned than me in the
world of computing, but IE 5 does have a backup feature. Under File, there
is an Import and Export entry where one can do just that to a floppy or any
other folder on your drive, using a "Wizard". I don't know if this will help
Diane, but others may not be aware of this as well. It also allows you to
back up your Cookies.

Diane,

IE does not have a built-in method to backup
the favorites or any other configuration settings.
You must have manually created the backup by some other
means.  Unless you can remember HOW you made the
backup, I don't think there is a lot we can suggest.

It's a long shot, but if you can remember the NAME of
one of your favorites (not the URL), then you can use
START - FIND - FILES and search your hard drive.
