Hi

When you have a new tab open, near the top on the right-hand side is there a yellow folder named "Other bookmarks"?  Have you had a look in there?

It should copy bookmarks/favorites from your current browser ..... or at least give the option ...

Personally I have tried Google chrome, but it doesn't seem to work very well with W7, so I have continued with IE9 (for my very many sins)

Has your husband used the relevant option to copy his favourites over as I guess they wouldn't just appear that first time he is using it. I don't use Chrome so don't know how to do it but there must be an option there somewhere.

In Chrome, click on the spanner symbol in the top right corner, just below the red box with the white cross.

Click on Options

On the left side, click on Personal Stuff

Next to Browsing Data click on the box marked Import data from another browser.
You should find that already filled in with the options ticked. If not, click on the down arrow to choose the browser you want to export from.

I downloaded Chrome a few days ago, & was surprised to find it did this automatically from Firefox.

Yes, I thought it did it automatically from IE when I downloaded Chrome some months ago; I just clicked on "My bookmarks" and they were all there waiting for me  :) .

Hope you get it sorted.
