WinXP home; IE6; OE6

Hello, I don't know how but when I finished backing up what I thought was my "Favorites" into "My Documents", I see that I have 2 Folders called:

"Adela's Bookmarks" with 57KB of files, and also "Favorites" with only 13KB of files. But when I go to see my actual Favorites in my IE browser...the files seem different from those 2 other folders.

If I haven't confused you, would you happen to know what happened? And how to simplify this trio into only one Folder?

Thanks so much for any suggestions. Adela
