    Hi Tim,

    Are you still able to see the favorites after followign the steps mentioned below? Also, note that this is not a security risk, but this will help to clear the favorites, so that others can’t see the websites visited. Do reply me, so that I can provide you a solution.

    When I turn off my computer, always leave it with the page for kilts showing
    but these past few times when I switch the computer back on, it’s on this
    page why?

  5. Tim says:

    every time now when I turn on the computer it opens at this page
    WHY? I left it not on a website, on a page listing sites that sell kilts.
