I am not aware of any mechanism on Windows that will remove your saved web
pages. I have saved web pages dating back to February this year, and other
than when I do a tidy up I've never known them to disappear.
What is the full path to where you are saving them? because if its a
temporary folder then its possible that some process is tidying them up for
you.
Do you have any applications/utilities running that try to "spring-clean"
your disk for you? (i.e. which try to delete old files to recover disk
space?)
On a different note, do you backup your pc? If you have files that are
disappearing, and you know they've disappeared then you should be able to
recover them from your backup. I backup my pc using three external usb
disks, which I rotate once a week - simple and convenient, but it means I
can only go back two weeks ...
