Lil, I have a folder on my desktop with aliases to AOL-IE-NS prefs folders solely for trashing prefs. Note: Make sure IE or AOL is not open when you do this. Path is sys fldr->prefs-> Explorer (folder) Here's what I routinely trash in IE: Downloads.html History.html Temporary Files Path is sys fldr->prefs-> America Online (folder) Here's what I routinely trash in AOL: AOL External Prefs Browser Cache (folder) or it's contents ->cache.waf & sometimes you will see an IE cache.waf too! Disconnect Log Download Cache Session Diagnostics Temporary Files (folder or it's contents if any) AOL Link Prefs -this will be there if you crashed and you will continue to crash til you dump it. I have no loyalty to the history files. Bob -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
