I don't know if it is the kosher way to do things, but with my mom's system yesterday, I simply restored her home folder structure to a temporary folder.

I suppose this method does not retain filters and whatnot but it seemed to work for me. -- k -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
