For anyone who uses the “favorites sync” feature on Windows Live Toolbar, we have an important notice. We’ve heard from some customers in the last 24 hours that in some cases, favorites have been removed from the Toolbar when they synced from one or more of their PCs. We have investigated, and we want to assure you, that if this is occurring for you, your favorites are still available on SkyDrive at http://favorites.live.com.  We apologize for this inconvenience and are diligently working on a fix to restore favorites from SkyDrive to your PC.
