This happened to me when I uninstalled OOTP9 and re-installed the full "Patch 1" version. It wasn't a big deal because I only had three bookmarks and no custom filters yet, but this does seem to be a bit of an oversight. We never had this problem in the past because Markus usually provided "patchable" executables that would just update the original installation.

I wonder if you'd lose the bookmarks/filters if you just installed Patch 2 OVER Patch 1 instead of uninstalling first.

Otherwise, I guess you can just download the OOTP executable - that shouldn't overwrite your bookmarks/filters.
