Whenever I accidentally delete one*, I can right-click and "restore favorites" but it restores some I have deleted on purpose too, so a "template" must be saved somewhere which it recieves the deleted ones from... and that's what I'm looking for to edit...

* Happens alot since they are highlighted when you open the window even if it seems like something else inside the main window is highlighted instead...

Nope, that one gets re-filled by the "restore" function too...

Use jumplists instead.

Well they're definitely stored in C:\Users\user\Links

I'd guess the default selection (that is activated when you click restore) is either saved in the registry or perhaps D:\Users\Default\Links

And I have no idea how you accidentally delete them ...

But it's not just the default ones.. I've deleted one I created and that gets restored aswell
And my Users/Default/Links is empty

I explained that above

I didn't really understand the explanation What you described has never happened to me ... ever.

If you alt-tab into a window where you have selected something earlier, and just hit delete, it will delete your selected favorite instead of what you selected in the window

Don't alt tab into a window and hit delete then.

Hurr if what I want to delete is highlighted, I don't really consider if I last hit alt-tab or not...
